Every time I try to connect to quakenet, it disconnects me.

I am also struggling to connect to IRC…

14:06 * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
14:06 * Connect retry #1 uk.quakenet.org (6667)

It happened last week aswell, then fixed itself and now its broked again. Guessing its a ISP issue, I’m on VM.

There is no uk.quakenet.org. The only UK server was hosted by – you guessed it – Multiplay. They took it down about a week ago after it was DDoSed (when the ETF2L bots went down). When I asked for an eta on bringing it back up they couldn’t say.

All quakenet servers: http://www.quakenet.org/servers

There used to be a stats page for the mp server here – when the server went down the user count plummeted to zero, considering the graph isn’t even there anymore I’d guess it’s never coming back.

if you use “irc.quakenet.org” you’ll be redirected to a random one automatically, if im not mistaken (perhaps its not random but based on ping/usercount, no idea)
