Hi @StanW235,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing some connectivity troubles while you are traveling in Europe. It's hard to know exactly what could fix the issue besides a stronger, more stable internet connection. Currently, I tried replicating the issue in my own account but was not able to.
Take a look at our Troubleshooting Connectivity article and see if you're able to tackle any of these suggestions. Hopefully that will alleviate the issue.
As for your second question, I reviewed the list and several contacts have the Awaiting Confirmation status. They must have been sent a confirmed opt-in email at some point and never replied to it. They are visible on the list for information purposes, but you aren't billed for them and they can't be sent to until they confirm their subscription.
