I just upgraded to v.2.4.4 last night, and discovered the problem is even worse now. It goes from attempting to get hosts to not even responding when I click the connect command on the menu - in under an hour.

Why can't this program connect to the server list hosts, grab its lists of servers rotate through all of those, and then go back for new lists when it runs out of connections? As it is, I end up having to shut down and restart the program every half hour or so, just to have a hope of being connected to anyone else.

This connection problem just keeps getting worse with every "upgrade".
