A couple minutes ago, my DSL connection died. The Linux gateway reconnected immediately. Windows didn't notice that all it's connections to the Internet died, hence AOM's socket just hung. Apparently, it was not able to detect this and ended up waiting forever, with no chance for me to cancel the transfer or an apparent timeout to restart the transfer.
By the way... now that I restarted it, it's once again updating my mylist like crazy, and STILL leaves in the dark as to what it's changing. *grr*
Graceful handling of lost connections?
@Skywalka: Netcode is IMO among the most important things for a distributed application such as this. :/
@PetriW: Approximately 10 minutes. eMule finds a connection to be dead after approximately 30 seconds, BitTorrent takes between 10 seconds and a minute, mIRC takes 2 hours (!) until it notices that it isn't connected anymore. If possible, I'd like AOM to behave like eMule or BT...
