Patrick - the version I have is 2.5.6, downloaded about February and it seems to work out OK. There were some outages that seem to have more to do with the CME/Globex link about a week ago. Basically, my perception is that all of these Internet services are somewhat unreliable and some are worse that others, and the reasons vary. We will most likely be in this transition period for some time until very reliable interfacing is developed. The other potential problem, I can visualize as more and more market feeds and everything else you can think of comes on the Internet is saturation and delay without you knowing it! Now if you are behind on a trade without knowing it, lose money, won't this be some sweet mess, as you would have no chance of proving that they had buffered your signal before you entered the trade. So it will very much be market beware until this all settles out if it ever does.
