Igv Genome Viewer: Problems While Loading Dgv Track

Hello,

I have problems loading the DGV track in the IGV Genome Browser. It doesn't work. By clicking
File - Loading from Server - Annotations (hg18) - Variation and Repeats - Genomic Structural Variation (DGV) the track should be loaded. But an error occur.

Therefore I load the CNV track from the UCSC-DAS Server with the URL: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/das/hg18/features?type=dgv

But unfortunatly the information and color code is missing for gains and losses.

Perhaps you have an idea to solve this problem. It would be very nice to have this color code: Brown, blue and red for gain/loss, gain and loss of sequence.

Thank you!

Does this kind of file needed to be indexed before loading into the IGV?
