Numsgil:
We've been having technical difficulties with the program and server.  We aren't totally sure if it's the server of the program, so it's been hard to fix.

Have you tried ping requesting the server? It could be that the weather has interupted whatever network its on.

Numsgil:
web server (forum) and ftp server are run from the same place, so if one were down they'd all be down.  We're thinking either it's a problem with the Visual Basic control, or with the number of sessions from the same IP.

Is the FTP on a seperate switch or router, or is it all the same?

Numsgil:
All the same, as far as I know.  The FTP for the program uses an FTP account that gets limited access to a folder on the web server.  However, GoDaddy (our host) has a two session limit per IP thing.  So at least part of what I think happens is that Darwinbots loses track of a session, and after  a while tries to create a third session and fails.

That doesn't explain why some people can't get even a first session going, of course, so I'm a little stumped.  What I need to do is create a test app in C# that uploads and downloads to/from the server, to check if it's something bogus with the VB controls, or with our server.
