I get it regularly, it's a problem if you have problems with the
serial line. My HD interface unfortunately causes a certain amount of
interference with the serial line, and while I can reduce errors to
a minimum I can't avoid them completely.

Try:

1. Using a fast serial device driver such as 8n1.device or v34serial.device,
   these have lower overheads than serial.device and so tend to cause
   less problems if other hardware is interfering

2. Using a low bandwidth screen, ie a 2 bitplane one or lower, while
   you download - I think again this is to do with reducing hardware
   overheads

3. Not running anything in the background. UUCP 0.10 doesn't run UUXQT
   in the background fortunately [later versions do] but anything that
   uses up significant amounts of CPU time and/or disk activity might
   cause problems.

I hope this helps...
