Last night there was a power cut affecting the master server. Unfortunately this has left a few hosts stuck with players on them and reporting the message "a player is disconnecting".

That means :

1) you can't join that host - it says "a player is disconnecting"
2) people who are stuck on that host can't join another host

Please report on this thread any hosts that are stuck in that state and I will restart them remotely.

MoO Racing #1 is one which gives the error.

thanks - that one is now restarted

edit : also restarted - DM Digital Madness 1
edit : also restarted - [D-R-T] F1 Masters

If by "nobreak" you mean, UPS, then who knows. But they don't last for ever even if you have one..

That is not the purpose of a UPS... You have it manage a "clean" windows shutdown, by sending all processes a shutdown command and then shutting down windows gracefully after a preset time. If the Master server can be gracefully shut down while cleanly disconnecting from the hosts, then this wouldn't be a problem. And since the Master Server is at Scawen's house, I doubt it would require anything heave... An APC Smart-UPS 1000 would do.
