Last week I found this patch
http://www.gtr4u.de/thread.php?postid=587040
and this post was made on my forum.
"GTL Lobby fix
Reason for GTL going down is the expired domainname. So if the lobby is not going to us anymore, we just go to the lobby ourself.
The old IP Address of the Lobby server (www.gtl-server.net) was: 81.3.59.61
So to cheat the domain name system we just edit our local host file and tell Windows the www.gtl-server.net is this ip address and not the new godaddy ip address.
In command line language the fix is:
@Echo off
Echo. >>%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
Echo 81.3.59.61 www.gtl-server.net >>%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
Thats the contents of the included FixGTL.cmd file
I have updated the RD server (.19 and started a Dedi Server. Checked it on my own pc and I can connect as usual.
Have fun!
[Edit]
If someone did the "antideco patch" patch first then you have to undo that one first. They can't work both together.
Open your hosts file with notepad
With Windows Explorer browse to the folder
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\
Right click the file 'hosts' and select Open or Open With
Open it with Notepad
Make sure you delete all lines containing "127.0.0.1 www.gtl-server.net"
And just add this line once: "81.3.59.61 www.gtl-server.net"
Save and close the file and (re)start GT Legends. Thats it."
I was able to host a dedicated server and see and join other servers. Now it's not working, I would like to host a stock game server for beginners like me. I'm also willing to host your update files for a mirror if you like.
I hate to be a bother but any help will be appreciated.

It has nothing to do with keeping your own connection open when it fails.
