 Server outages
We apologise to all clients currently experiencing difficulties connecting. A couple of our main client servers are currently being upgraded and should be back up ASAP. AustNet is also currently reviewing new ways of improving our service, and we look forward to implementing these ideas in the near future as well as expanding our network internationally to ensure easy connection to all 'corners' of the globe.
