I think that happens when your net is failing

for example what would that mean bad connection or what?

yeah when my old dsl would start losing connection it would time out and then i would get flush packet message. then it would go away when my net got better

Yep. I don't know what causes it exactly, but when it happens you lag and spike for about a second. I think it's because (as everyone else says) your net gets overloaded for a second.

Same thing would happen to my friend when his dad would reset/turnoff thier router.

Its a bad connection from your end to the server. Your connection isn't communicating properly with the database or who ever is hosting the server.

So do you think finding servers closer to your location would help? Or just getting better internet. I'm on Wi-Fi so I get this a lot..
