Ok, but can you tell me where the problem lies please?
My end or the server?

Good to know I'm not alone!

Is the link in your post to the 'verbose' install a hint of how to fix this problem?
or is it some server problem?
Any ideas?

When I try to log in I am getting the error: Error in SDLNet_TCP_Recv():

I have just received an update today, and since all was well before, is this the cause?

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
