Timeout assumed - TA Spring lobby.

[PuG]

Ive been having an ongoing problem with the spring lobby, dating back atleast 10 to 12 months!

For some reason I keep getting timed out with the following:

[13:27:43] Timeout assumed. Disconnecting ...
[13:27:43] Connection to server closed!

Occasionally its fine, but majority of the time (like today) I only have a few minutes at best - just before timeout occurs, it tends to also run very slow, for example chat, and ready/unready team selection will be delayed before catching up some 5 or 10 seconds afterwards.

Ive never really bothered about it as I knew the previous router was on its way out, however after changing to a new Netgear its still persisting (im not using wireless).

Reformatted a number of times, fresh installations, no difference.

As soon as its launched ingame it runs fine, perfect, and ive got no other problems with anything else web related. Only the TA Spring lobby.

When I first started playing spring a few years back I never use to have lobby problems, its only since last year.

Any suggestions or ideas?

I've had the same problem...

Major lag (10 sec sometimes) and timeouts... sometime no connect at all...
usually it's like:
[21:31:00] - Have fun playing Spring
[21:32:19] Timeout assumed. Disconnecting ...
[21:32:19] Connection to server closed!


I've opened 8200 on my router, but no luck...
i think taspringmaster.clan-sy.com just hates me...

I have this problem two, its very annoying, cant stay connected for more than 5 minuets, anyone know of a solution?, is the lobby using a any other ports other than 8200?
