- Rjevski 8y agoWhich is really unfortunate because the P2P system was reliable provided your network was reliable. The “new and improved” system just randomly fails for me and I’ve stopped using Skype as a result. The shit clients they started releasing (obviously they had to make them Electron-based) didn’t help.
