Typically I have a perm hotlist of regulars from one private and 5-6 Public OpenNap servers.
List has been stable and functioning well for more than a year, virtually 24/7
Some hours ago, All Publis server regulars appeared OFF-line, all Private regulars appeared ON-line.
Odds against all publics being offline at once would be incredible... about 25 people who are usually 24/7 online regulars. Yet the 10 or so Private server regulars appeared Online.
Whois and browse on those appearing offline did not function (understandably)
Search for files expected (but not certain) to be in regulars shares, produced instances in other users on same OpenNap servers, but no instances from regulars. Newly added one of these unknowns to perm hotlist ok. Showed as Online, whois and browse ok.
Re-Starts, Re-Boots, Re-Installation of WinMX did not help.
Uploads to Peer Network users functioning ok
It's as though all my public OpenNap regulars had suddenly turned off.... Only the Privates remained.
Has anyone seen this sort of hotlist loss before?
