Yep. As of a few minutes ago, 1.3 million Skype users were connected to the Skype network. I've been watching them come back over the last 90 minutes, but the number is growing rapidly now.

UPDATE 1: Thursday 0800 Pacific: 1.8 million online. 500,000 people reconnected in 3 hours.

UPDATE 2: Thursday 0825 Pacific: 2.5 million online. See chart snapshot below.

UPDATE 3: Friday 1030 Pacific: 3.5 million online. Connections remain intermittent but some users report drop outs are shorter and less frequent.

Look at the week as a whole to see the "overnight dip" and the short staggers as each time zone goes/leaves work. This might explain the five hour fall and recovery that started about 12 hours ago.

UPDATE 4: Friday 1445 Pacific: 5 million online. Five million simultaneous on a Friday afternoon in the US is not bad. The network is growing back more slowly than it crashed (about six hours to fail down, maybe 24-30 hours to propagate back up).

UPDATE 5: Friday 2015 Pacific: Spike up to 6 million, fall to 4 million. Download rate levels off as Skypers stop trying to solve connection problems by updating their software.

UPDATE 6: Saturday 0700 Pacific: Skype clients connected to the network falls overnight to 4 million but rises again to 6 million as Europe and the Americas come online.
