(Ziroc here) Go to the 7th page of this thread, and you will see that the MS browser may be causing your connection. I say MAY. MS has released NEW patches and CRITICAL fixed just now (at 10:00 EST on 13, April). Run your windows update, and install these, as not just for the possible IW fix, but for new backdoors they found in the sloppy Microsoft code they call an OS. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

IW is up and down like a whores drawers. I know for a fact I'm not the only one. Taken 2 hours to get back in. Sometimes I can get in whilst people I'm talking to can't, or like tonight I can't get in while my friends in the USA can. Bloody weird and more than a little frustrating

I get that too, often. IW won't load for about 5-15 minutes, but then it'll work again. I really don't mind much, but sometimes it gets annoying.

Yeah, tonight I was trying to get a PM sent to a friend, write it, send it.....nope. 15 minutes later, re-write, re-send....nope. Now I'm getting pissed because it was important to me to get it sent before said friend went to bed. So what happens? Usually 10 - 20 minutes as you say, tonight because it mattered to me it took 2 long hours, and was sent obviously too late and undoubtedly with my frustration rearing its ugly head in written form.

EDIT...Yes "Often" being the operative word.

It happens to me all the time. What I've found that seems to work is to log off the internet then log back on and then I can come right back to IW.

It used to be so reliable, 100%, even with heavy traffic. I don't mind it going down now and then, just always seems to happen at the most inopportune times and it's terribly regular now unfortunately.

I have not had any problem, IW is always up and running as far as I can tell.

I haven't noticed any slow-downs recently. As a matter of fact IW is faster than ever. There used to be some problems, though.
