Just played a game very successfully, no different to usual. Has your firewall been blocking the new exe by any chance?

I also have connection problems. It would be nice to know how to fix or a reason for it doing this... the game just keeps attempting into the 70s before I finally give up. no matter how many times i try i wont be able to connect to that particular server. WHY??

Is this with all servers, or just particular servers? Those servers are each hosted by some other player of the game. They may be behind a restrictive firewall or something that does not allow you to connect. If you cannot connect to a server, the problem is probably with the server, not your setup.

This is unlikely to be an issue related to the problems of patch 1.4, especially if you are running a later version. This is most likely the reason it takes so long to resync.
Uplink help: Check out the Guide or FAQ.
Latest Uplink patch is v1.55.
