If it's been happening this weekend then I had the same problem, and 
after much fiddling about found it was a problem I'd had with WWW130, 
had solved by the kind people here in d.i.s.a, and forgot to sort out 
from the word go with WWW131.

Namely, Demon's proxy-server, which seems to be more trouble than it's 
worth. Get rid of it by editing your DEFAULT.CFG: comment out the 
following lines:

HTTP_PROXY      = www-cache.demon.co.uk
HTTP_PROXY_PORT = 8080

by bunging a hash at the start of each one:

#HTTP_PROXY      = www-cache.demon.co.uk
#HTTP_PROXY_PORT = 8080

and you'll find CAB/STiK just connects direct.
