Ventrilo login stall

[Takel 1st MRB]

Hi, i've recently (for about a week now) started getting problems when logging into the vent server. roughly a third of the time i've logged on this week, it's hung on connection for between 20-30 seconds and i get a repetition of the first note of the login sound for that long. I noticed when i connected just now that my ping was at 20703 but suddenly dropped to the usual 110-130 about 10 seconds after the login sound stops and i can move rooms etc. Is it something wrong at my end or due to distance from the server or what?

as i said, it's not all the time and it hasn't stopped me from connecting, just delays it, so it's not an urgent matter, however i would like to know why it's happening.

Thanks in advance guys.
