Use this instead. It works better, it's more accurate, and it's never been down as far as I know.
Jul 14, 2006 06:37 I'm having the same problem too???
Everything said above I'm having the same prob! How can we fix this?

You wait for the guy in charge to fix the tracker, or you can use the alternate tracker that I linked to above.

Did you try clicking the "join" button? I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work, unless you've got a different problem than the one I'm thinking of.

Click tracker setup, the tracker should be “tracker.winbolo.com” and the port should be “50000”

The link web page nova provided http://winbolo.net/activegames.php tracks all games that participate in WinBolo.net
Oct 13, 2006 12:25 general tips
maybe someone (more websavvy than i) should make a page about this (or maybe there already is one?) but if you're having problems loading a game through the tracker, here are some tips:

(1) try going to winbolo.net and see if you can see/access games that way

(2) if you are a strict-player join mirc to find out the specific address of the game you want so you can use the 'join by address' function

(3) and of course if your winbolo screen goes totally nutz then do this: cntrl-alt-delete and click on the 'processes' tab (NOT the default 'end task' screen) and alphatize your processes - then scrolll down to 'winbolo.exe' and one-by-one 'kill' all the winbolo.exe processes

typically when one thing goes down, there's another way to join a game ... you just have to use whatever ISN'T down. that being said, the Powers That Be keep things running very very well, so if all else fails, check back in a few hours later and chances are someone will have magically fixed it all =D
