This implies its not necessarily something Exaile is doing wrong - it could be your network or internet connection is deficient in some manner, and this is causing the audioscrobbler plugin to fail. If possible, I would try to reproduce the problem with a different connection, preferably as direct a connection to the internet as possible.
