misophist -

Haven't run into that one. Where do you hang out? (bad pun?)

The "numbered errors" are too generic to be much use unless you have a really persistent problem. Usually a "back" and retry, or sometimes a reboot, restart, retry gets past most of them.

I have one favorite site where I occasionally get a "target cannot be found" (never bothered to check the error number). It seems usually to happen when traffic is high, and re-clicking usually goes through ok. I've found that links from Google searches give a fairly common "can't be found" where the link works on a second or third try.

I did get an unusual message recently to the effect "Your packet was involved in a collision. Your packet lost the arbitration and was discarded. Please retry your link." I thought that was nicely informative, but the result was the same - try again.
