It appears that way. I've verified from several other points and ISPs around the UK, with things being fine - except from AOL UK/Talk Talk. I'm trying to get to the bottom of why the ISP is intercepting and diverting the MSN port to a bogus connection refused, so far there's a blanket denial they are filtering/blocking anything and a claim "We don't support peer-to-peer networks and request our customers not use them". There's something very odd going on there and I don't like the feel of it. > If so, try and use the http method and lets look at the debug log. > I'm trying to get a time when it's consistently getting problems long enough for me to shut down all other connections and log the errors.

I can connect using http, but not with a direct connection. Is there any chance you can compile a test TLS version? Other reports have indicated that compiling from source with enable-tls=yes solves the problem. I haven't had a chance to grab sources and try yet.
