Looks like changes on the server shouldn't cause such behavior...
Disgruntled, which OS/hardware you use?
LUSTB1TCH, you started it on linux, under wine-win7 emulation and wine-winxp emulation, and then you tried winxp and got the same result?
I have no idea how to reproduce the issue, my winxp works fine with it, same as on other computers...
Also, try to join backup server, is the problem present on it too?
