I am not able to get more than 1 or 2 primary connections anymore? Any ideas how to fix this. All my ports are forwarded and I am using 3.54 beta 4 on the latest community patch. Secondary takes even longer to connect.

How long do you stay online.
I have noticed it takes a while to fill up the slots.

Well when I first open it, it gets 1 primary, sometimes it will be 2. But I am unable to search, unable to get what little chat room list there is left. Eventually about an hour later it gets up to 4 or 5...

tip; dont grab the chatlist with the client --- it makes the already thick traffic situation worse... there is also a tickbox in settings > channels labeled 'fetch channels immediately when list opened' ... untick that box...

when you want to join a channel grab one from one of the weblists out there and copy/paste it into the filter bar then click join...

still get to chat and it doent add anything to the junk traffic..

It seems like searches are full of garbage again...

a 'birds eye view' of the network.... ...if the #1 search if for 'c:' then you'll get junk in searches...
