Skype ring tone goes silent

Posted in IT @ Work, Tech by the(new)mediaslut on the August 16th, 2007

(Update 17082007 10:00am: Skype log-in is ok now. Updates can be found here. 30 mins later, Skype went down again.)

Skype has been down since afternoon and it is still down.

It seems there is a software bug in the P2P software.

"Some of you may be having problems logging in to Skype," wrote the Skype blog .

"Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in."

    Yeah, and this is a huge problem since Skype is my home phone. I guess it’s back to an earlier version…

    I am running LINUX BETA 1.4 and I have the same problem.

    Yes, the issue is widespread, and isn’t version specific. Signin is up now, but still problematic.
