Hey you guys.. i know silkroad que system is making all of us mad... How we cant connect even if servers populated. i know theres a sticky for how to solve it. but this is my way of solving it..
Use a loader.. Testosterone loader automatically connects you to the shortest gate way. I dont know how they did it but i usually connect to xian in 40 mins with the loader sometimes 15 mins..
link is

when you extract it pass is recyfer.info.
extract it to your silkroad folder and open the testosterone and pick your settings dont click redirect ip unless you know what your doing.
then click launch..
This is my first guide so it may be not that good...
