Experiencing the exact same connection problems all afternoon as described above. Is the network temporarily down? I've been traveling since late July, but as I recall I had similar problems with 1.6 in early Summer. Back in the Spring of 2001 1.4 worked like a charm. Comments? Perhaps a flood of new Gnutella users is causing network problems...
