Comment (by jefdriesen):

 One possibility is that the bluetooth serial emulation isn't always
 working very well. At least that's the impression I have when trying to
 download from my petrel or frog. Sometimes downloading suddenly fails
 (with an error message on the petrel), for no obvious reason. But when I
 switch to my prototype native bluetooth communication, the problems
 disappears. I'm not sure whether this is a similar problem or not.

 I have uploaded a build with native bluetooth enabled to the
 libdivecomputer website:

 ​http://www.libdivecomputer.org/builds/experimental/windows/universal-
 bluetooth.exe

 Run it with the following arguments:

 universal-bluetooth.exe -v -l petrel.log -d petrel.xml -b petrel <MAC>

 Replace <MAC> with the bluetooth mac address of your petrel. You should be
 able to find it somewhere in the device manager (sorry don't remember
 exactly where). It's a number that looks like 00:11:22:33:44:55. Also note
 that there is only support for the Microsoft bluetooth stack. It won't
 work with alternatives like the widcomm stack.
