Can't get a game

Bumping the thread up after 1 minute is 'of no help'.
It happens to me occasionally, too, normally when I have a bad internet connection. What I do to recover is to reconnect to the internet, run CCleaner and logout/login. Usually that's enough.
What's wrong with live chess? Suddenly, it is impossible to find a match-up, I go to live chess, selected 1 min, press start game... I even put a 2 hour album on, sat back and relaxed, at the end of it still no game, just endless searching. Yeah, searching my a**.
Quite ironic. If it is for abandoning games, well, my internet connection started doing tricks lately but all in all I had 10 or 15 games aborted. I never disconnect when losing, it would be stupid in bullet...
