There can be dozens of reasons if a connection cannot be established or is
terminated. In most cases this happens on the server side, or anywhere on
the way between client and server. The connection code within gGo has not
changed since version 0.1.something, so it is unlikely that it is suddenly
broken on the client side.

When a connection cannot be established, either the remote server is not
available or there is a local problem with your network or firewall setup.
When a connection has been established but is suddenly terminated, either
the remote server went unavailable or there is a problem anywhere between
you and the server. But Im absolutely sure the client cannot be blamed for
this (all clients, not only gGo).
