Oh no! There was a communication problem.

I also experience this issue often and it is probably an issue with the teamtreehouse site rather than your internet connection.Usually you just have to refresh the task a couple of times and the error goes away. Also you should probably send them an email as well so they are informed that there are many people having issues with the site.
