Generally this just means the connection has closed through some
unusual means, perhaps by being turned off, or a network cable being
unplugged, or a timeout along the way, etc. 5% is a high figure, but
perhaps you connect to hosts that are unreliable for some reason.

You don't have control over this really; just make sure you handle the
exception. Such is life, when dealing with networking.
