I too have had a few login failures in the last couple of days. Frankly 
it is no big deal as far as I am concerned as overall the service IMHO 
has been much, much better this last couple of weeks. I have even got 
fewer 400 newsserver failures his last week or two. They were a little 
frustrating, but my good software rattled through the tries and it 
rarely delayed me long. (Twenty tries in less than two minutes.)

The rapid expansion does cause problems and no doubt Demon could do it a 
bit better. However each time a problem, that caused a bottle neck, is 
cured in a system as complex as this it opens the door for another 
problem to become more visible. One day I hope that the system will have 
no faults, run fast all the time and never hold me up or go down even 
for a minute. I should live so long! It is just like life. Every time
you cure one killer disease people start dying of another one! (But they
do live a little longer).

If you want a good answer you have to find the right question first! I 
have had very helpful responses from aDe and {R}. Terse sometimes 
but helpful nevertheless.

My question would be, "I have had a few occasions recently when I have
got a Connect, but no login has followed. I cannot think of anything I
have done which could affect my system. Can anyone suggest whether this
is a fault at my end or elsewhere? Has there perhaps been a reported
fault that I may have missed?"
