Try some of these:

Crank down the size of your Xastir main window.  This will cause it
to request a much smaller file from the site.

Zoom in a lot.  This will cause terraserver to serve up the image
faster.

And the last but probably most useful suggestion:  Go to
File->Configure->Timing and increase the slider for "Internet Map
Timeout", which is the one at the bottom-right.
