Sorry, that should be MacMini 2009 (https://support.apple.com/kb/SP577) with 4Gb memory. Veeeeery slooooooow (virtual memory would often swap, especially with the more recent OS versions).

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP710. Mine is the 2.8 GHz model with 16Gb of memory.
> In other words, seems to be related to the computer's speed (a timeout somewhere?).
