A couple of years ago someone posted a whole thread about this called 'Mudcatdown? Try this', and if I can work the blicky thing (unlikely) I'll add it. Basically there are 3 servers that serve Mudcat and if one is down, try the others. The server is random usually, but you can select a server if it serves you better. Got that? Ragtime is the one that works most reliably for me, enabling me to get in when the others won't let me in.

Damn, blicky didn't work, but if you copy and paste that in your address tag, you should be able to bookmark it and add to faves.

If the magic pixies could fix a blicky or do a thread search I'd be grateful, cos I'm a Duffer.
