Will have to have a look when that happens, the autorouter in diptrace
can often be a little dumb, and you can see the obvious answer to
routing a trace when its trying and trying and eventually leaves about
4 traces unrouted, when simple hand editing later fixes it.

Thats on single sided, I only do single sided, on 2 layers its fine
but I think it makes a little too many via's because of it 'not seeing
the answer' on the first layer.

That said, I still love it.
