Known Issue
Over slow connections (such as typical residential DSL connections) or connections with high latency, the Monitor and/or Balancer UI may become temporarily unresponsive when accessing cloud-related features. In these cases, it is generally best to wait for the UI to return rather than forcibly terminating the application.
