if branch from lp: gives a timeout, a traceback is shown to the user

[Timmie]

I tried to install this plugin with bzr but it failed:

C:\Programme\Bazaar\plugins>bzr branch lp:bzr-xmloutput
bzr: ERROR: socket.error: (10060, 'Operation timed out')

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for reporting this.
I'm moving this to bzr itself, because the error seems like a network problem, and not a plugin issue.
