As I thought, it isn't a network problem at all.

The Macrium "create rescue media" option opens a connection to
"updates.macrium.com" (succeeds), than sends 78 bytes of binary data
(succeeds), after which it tries to read some, which fails with an 0x2746
error: "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host".

In other words: the connection was there, but the other side didn't like
what we told him and slammed the door shut.

So, its their own program that fails to (fully) talk to their own server,
without even as much as *trying* to give an accurate reason for it. It
also means that its an un-passable hurdle, rendering the program effectivily
worthless. :-((

If someone has another view on the matter - leading to a resolution - than
I'd like to hear. Though currently I'm rather ****ed off.

I have downloaded and installed Aomei backup software.
When you get their clone ISO, they ask whether you want
a win or a unix based one.
The win version takes ages to put together, but the unix version
takes only a few seconds.
The CD takes some time to boot, because its a Linux in memory.
The interface then loads automatically, and looks very clean(see website).
