Closing connections - what does it mean?

[Hyperactive]

I'm sorry if this has come up already.

Sometimes when I exit from the online server selecting menu to the main menu in LFS, I see a text "Closing connections (x)" in the up left corner of the screen, x meaning the number of these "connections". This happens mostly when I browse the servers but don't actually join to any server.

What does it mean?

No one knows?

Wait ! :) You've just posted only one hour ago :)

Personnally, I don't know what it means :shrug:

EDIT: oooops :D

No one knows?

That it's closing connections and trying to exit "gracefully"? It takes a while for a connection to time out I suppose if a server/servers isn't responding. :shrug:

I'd also like to know what connections are being closed.

The connections you make to each server on the list to get the ping etc details.

I thought that LFS connects to the "main server" and gets the server data from there? So it has only one connection, or...Hmm...

EDIT: or maybe it's like vari said, getting your ping times would be odd if you got them from LFS "main server" if such thing exists :)

Yeap, "netstat" in the command prompt while refreshing will verify this. :)
