Yeah, timing out a lot.  I literally just moved to YiiMP after reading about zpool.  It looks promising, so hopefully I just jumped in at a bad time.  Is it, or is it usual?

@wacko - This looks to be it.  There's an IRC, but they're usually dead.  Haven't seen a thriving IRC since I was 15 .  Other than that the frontpage just has links to API, Bnechmarks & Difficulty.
