well i checked and its definitely Doom Connector that i used to use, it worked for me although i do remember sometimes the lag would be really bad. but that was 2 years ago when i had dial up. with broadband speeds i cant imagine there being any lag on Doom anymore, but there might not be many people playing it online either. and i have no idea how Doom Connector compares to the other solutions available
and yeh there are probably copies of Doom 3 in the UK right now, sitting in shops, just waiting for the release date. you'd think it would make sense to start selling as soon as possible, i just read a news article saying that it has been leaked online and has already cost id a few million dollars. if the UK release date wasnt almost 2 weeks later people there wouldnt be tempted to download it.
i have a friend that works in a games store in the UK and they got Half-Life 2 in last year, on the date it was supposed to be released. turned out to be some computer error somewhere that had dispatched them just 1 copy of the unfinished product (or even the finished product if you believe the story that it was finished, but leaked, so they decided to change half the game). of course they were ordered to send it back immediately. but imagine if they'd put it out on the shelf....
