Windows Live Messenger Shuts Down!

RE: Windows Live Messenger Shuts Down!
Hi guys, I've had the same problem for probably over a year now. It gets worse when I have a bittorrent client on, even if said client isn't actually uploading or downloading anything, though it gets almost unbearably bad when it is. I just reinstalled Windows, no firewall or anything (except in my router, but that shouldn't count).. I've just about given up on it ever working properly.

My question is this: is there any way to reduce the reconnect delay? Apparently this delay was added to reduce server hammering, which is fair enough, but it could atleast try -once- before that massive 20 second delay. I've missed up to 5 messages because of that! I usually reconnect manually, but sometimes you don't notice, and if you've set it to log you in as Appear Offline or something and you reconnect manually, you'll be logged in with that status again, which I often forget. So is there any kind of script or setting I can use to make it reconnect immediately?

PS: I am using the latest version of both WLM and MsgPlus Live.
