Almost 4 hours authorising my pc for ADE

[Guest]

Is that normal? It's still 'authorising'!!

No, normally just takes a second or so.

There have been quite a few people reporting timeout problems over the last couple of days:

it may be that some of the servers are down.

Try again a few times over the next day or so; just wait maybe 20 secs each time then give up.

If it still doesn't work, post back.
