Hobo, sometimes I do think out loud

. With 4.9.27 I don't have any problems trying to browse a host. None with 4.9.28 either. For some reason 4.9.28 is like a lot of the earlier versions in that the downloads stop and start, the connection was unstable, and it would freeze. Pro 4.9.27 works like a charm, so I went back to it.
