Skype Problems

Is anyone else having problems staying connected to Skype today?

I normally have the program running in the background when I am on the computer, but today it is continually dropping out and reconnecting.

I find it differs depending on how many people are connected.

But it is normally connected. Just not good to have 9m+ people connect if I want a good chat with the GF on her mobile.

But I have just looked and my Skype is currently not connected.

I am in australia if that makes any difference!!!!!

The disconnection is not happening when I am making a call - it is occurring with Skype just running in the background.

BTW Kudjap - are you with TOT?

Skype is having problems all over the world. You can read information about it on www.skype.com. As they say, they are working hard to fix it.

[i][b]A flaw in a crucial piece of software that connects users to these servers appears to have been the source of the problem.

Skype engineers said the flaw existed in every copy of the Skype software that had been downloaded since the service
