    Is Skype dead?

    I'm on Mandriva 2007, using Skype 1.4 beta. Since 2 days I'm encountering P2P failures and can't log in. Before that everything was O.K. I even reinstalled the OS, but no changes. Similar experiences/ other distros ?

    “There is a chance this could go on beyond tomorrow, but it’s our hope that it’s going to be resolved,” Kurt Sauer, Skype’s chief security officer, said. “What happened today was caused by a unique set of events, the genesis of which is not entirely understood.”.....Skype engineers said the flaw existed in every copy of the Skype software that had been downloaded since the service’s start in 2003.

    So, basically, I registered last week, make a test call and then it died. You know what that means....

    I broke it.

    I used Skype this afternoon to talk with a friend in New York and everything worked perfectly. It's so nice we have Skype now too.

    Apparently a software problem or so Skype claimed.
