Episode #14
I’ve used os x for some time now and the one thing that i’ve yet to see fixed is the finder becoming unresponsive whenever there’s a stoppage in the network.
Basically whenever my internet connection disconnects while i’m connected to a server or when transfering a file, the finder locks up and has to killed or even better yet the computer has to be restarted. This is similar to when having a network drive connected at startup not be connected and it stalling your start up by some time. Please help :)

This is my number one Mac complaint also. I consider it a major problem with the Finder and like you I anxiously await a fix from Apple! What’s happening is that the time-out setting is set for an extremely long time, which is essentially forever while you’re sitting there watching the spinning beachball of death.
