I'm having intermittent connection problems with BearFlix 1.1.2.1. (Please don't tell me to switch to BearShare.)

Sometimes, it connects immediately.
Sometimes, it remains unconnected for hours and then connects.
Sometimes, it doesn't connect for days.

Can anyone give me some suggestion how to connect more reliably?

Thanks - Pat
