The Tain

Hopefully, it is old news, but I am seeing the following error when accessing at least some URLs on the Tain since mid-afternoon EDT today:

curl_exec error 7 : couldn't connect to hostProxy Error!

Out of curiosity, I installed Myth TFL on the following systems: Compaq Presario CQ5110F Desktop Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit Athlon 7550 Dual-Core 2.5 GHz 3 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 210 w/ 340.52 Driver Dell Inspiron N5110 Laptop Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit Intel Core i3-2310M Dual-Core 2.1...

Sifting through a spreadsheet I made back in 2004, the only WWII-themed solo items I see are as follows: World War II: TItans by Craig Goodman aka Santa's Head (This was on Myth II: Worlds) WW2 The Camp - POW Rescue (Solo Mission) by Eddie Crabbe aka ozone and Thomas Ling aka GHOST (This was on Myth...

The patch in question is FallenLevelsV2_Win32_Artsound.zip . I can successfully run the patch in Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit without making any sort of administrator or compatibility changes.
