Done it 3 times over the last hour, after reading the first of the
doom-laden posts (just to see what all the fuss was about). Tried again, 5
minutes ago. Average 'connecting' time 3 minutes - back on no problem each
time. WinMX version 3.53, running on my P2P box which uses Windows ME,
heavily customized with LitePC's 98lite utility (http://www.litepc.com/).
The XP version is great, too.
