Freeze Instead of Log in Issue

When I attempt to login, sometimes it will wait, then go back to the main screen and say there has been an error please try again. But about 75-90% of the time It freezes the game completely instead. Left it for 10 minutes, still frozen. Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing hapens to me and also I cant dl the new patch.

If I wait a long time, like up to 15 min. I can get in. But it's not long before everything freezes up, esp. if I try to tp or fly very far. Crash. This has happened over and over today. I've done both updates. Have tried to be a good sport about all of this, but it's become very discouraging. I'm now wondering not WHEN, but IF it will ever be fixed.

Don't quit if Second Life is not responding!
Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that if the Second Life client is "Not responding" according to the operating system, you should NOT force quit the client. There is a problem with the HTTP library that we're using during login that causes it to hang our client completely occasionally - closing the client at this point will just cause you to go to the back of the login queue.

The changes that we've made in 1.6.5(7) should make you much more likely to make it through the login process, even if it may take a longer amount of time.

what is an acceptable amount of time to wait though have been sitting at connecting to region for almost 2 hours now. would be nice to get some help here since any im's recieved during this period of time will most likely be lost

I don't quet think waiting is my problem. It prompts me to dl the new version and then it begins download and then i get an error message saying there was a problem with the download and has to quit. I have been trying all day with no luck
