I've got a user who uses SharePoint Designer to maintain an internal intranet site.

When syncing (remote-to-local) it appears to work at first, but usually hangs about 2-3 minutes into the sync, when he's syncing it to a sub-folder of his "My Documents". In this case, his "My Documents" is stored on a network share/profile.

When I do the same thing, it works for me. The difference? My "My Documents" folder is locally stored.

In other words, he's syncing from the remote server, into a network share. I'm syncing from the remote server, into a local drive.

Any idea why having the sync destination on a network share, vs. a local drive would cause this? When it locks up, we can navigate to his "My Documents" folder still - so I don't believe that we're loosing connection to his drive - unless perhaps the connection is intermittent, and SharePoint Designer isn't re-trying the sync.
