Bug Description

I have noticed this behaviour many times. If you try to add a movie and in the meantime the internet connection drops, griffith just hangs at the "get from web" or "fetching data" dialog. It is then not possible to close the program normally, you have to kill it from the task manager. I am using win7 x64 but it happened on XP too.

I have seen this behavior using several lookup sites. It always occurs when internet has a problem. It may not be totally down. It also occurs on Vista 32bit.

This problem I knew for years :( and lot of versions :(( under WinXPprof and W7e (all 32bit)
 It doesn't matter which lookup site it searches, any problem with the internet access and
the only way out is via abort and loosing the last modifications.
My work around: after each new entry of a film, I close and reopen griffith.

Version 0.13 should work better now I think.
