It was just a word of warning to the casual downloader.

: I would connect to AOL using a TCP/IP connection and not direct dial into them and then it shouldn't fuck up or other ISP. I have never had a problem when I do it this way.

See, but this is where most of our users were getting messed up. The download apparently sets itself up to dial into them, if you don't specify that you have an ISP providing access already, and then it makes it so you can only use AOL numbers to access the net.

Either that or they're all idiots.

I'm going with the latter.
