Hi, ever since the update to 1.3.1, I've been having some strange issue.
Whenever I go to my server list, it takes about 30 seconds to ping the servers (no it's not my internet being slow, trust me). When I try to join one, it just freezes for about 20 seconds then joins. After that I can play fine, but this is very annoying. It seems to work fine when using a VPN though. Also it seems to be everyone on my internet, doesn't matter which computer. I am also sure I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Some random info..
Java: Java 7 (64-bit)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Graphics: nVidia
Processor: Intel i7

Takes 15 seconds extra to me and only with 1.3 and above.

Don't bother pinging, just click on 'Join Server'. Why would it work using a VPN?

I don't know, it just does.

I have the same problem, except that instead of it freezing for 30 seconds, it freezes for 5-7 minutes PLEASE HELP
