I am running the very simple example aimbot given by twisted. The code can be found at http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/examples/aimbot.py Sometimes when I run the script it connects successfully. The majority of the time, however, it times out and I get this: C:\progra~1\Python23\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\base.py:516: Deprecation Warning: connectionFailed is deprecated. See new Client API self.protocol.connectionFailed() I usually get this message every time I try to connect, except for brief periods of time (usually 10 minutes at most) during which I can connect reliably. Anyone know what's going on? Any way I can fix this problem? Thank you!
