    Sorry for this trivial post, but I presume this is the fastest way of getting a response.

    Is Skype's server down at the moment? I can't seem to be able to connect.

    Can anyone here let me know? (also, if you d/c and then reconnect, does it work?)

    Cheers!

    very bad

    UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will make downloads available again as quickly as possible.

    :(

    Skype engineers are working hard to make it available again. I was heard about this in a blog.

    I believe the latest update now is - Skype users can login to their account, but their contacts cannot be seen..... (particularly if your contacts are not within the same locality or network.... )

    It's the same situation with me as well.
    But, are you able to see your contacts online (within the period which you are logged on)?

    I can see my contacts, but I'm still getting logged in and out over and over again. I think this proves that Skype is not a serious business solution. I missed important calls today over this and I am not happy about it.
