[Xerte] Re: The project data has not loaded.

Hi,

Do these multiple request have something to do with the prefetch function of Google Chrome ?
You can find more info about this prefetch function at the following URL

It's still unclear why this happens but again it is a browser thing that has made it's way into  multiple browser and platforms... you can try increasing the number of connections on some platforms but on other platforms this may not be possible...
