Password problems ?

[beardyphish]

The other day I did a clean install. When trying to get back on the project it didn't take my password so I got a new one from the site and then set it to my password.

Then last night this happened (while I was sleeping);

[Sat Mar 15 04:41:38 2003] couldn't report to server [report denied], retry in 1200 secs [error: -3]

(the log time is MY time I think, Netherlands).

The errors (last lines repeating) continued for HOURS.

I had a problem once before when a block got stuck at 100 % and there was nothing happening.

Is it me (my PC) or is there a technical hitch with the program / server ? :(

I noticed that this is also happening to my client, but strangely, it happens only once every 5-10 logins! That is:

The password of course does not change from one instance to the next. Is there a problem with the server's password checking? or is it just a matter of load?
