Connecting takes a while... Just let it keep trying to connect til it has a successful attempt...

Well I have used edonkey2000 a couple of times and because of the problem you posted (unable to get into the servers) I have simply stopped using it. If you just let it auto connect, after a while you'll get into a server but with 100 people sharing short of nothing. To get into a good server, repeated tries was necessary and it wasn't worth the time. It's ok for movies but absolutely garbage for music. Haven't tried to get programs but I just dont like the way it handles downloads.

I am behind a router as well (Linksys) and have had no direct problems from it. Try waiting a while after you click "connect".

i have edonkey and rt314 router. you do not need to use proxy server.

btw, does anyone have a list of US servers?
