Just as a wee trouble shooting exercise - what sort of bandwidth has your server got and are you doing any rate limiting by connection? My ISP seems to have international bandwidth problems - downloads are well slow unless multi-threaded, and they seem to be having trouble defining that there is a problem at all. If your site is using a big pipe to the greater net I'll use it as an example to show them exactly what I mean.
The box is fairly well 'connected'. I'd look alsewhere the an issue.
Thanks - that's what I'd deduced. With multi-threaded ftp I can suck
2Mbit/sec off your box, but.... otherwise something is limiting me to about 10% of that. Time for another call to the idiots on their helldesk - one more suggestion that I should reboot my PC and router and I'm off on a helldesk excursion with my axe.You must be joking!!!!
In the immortal words of Monty Python - we used to dream of 2MBits/sec. I am still waiting for ADSL and at the moment am restricted to a slow 64K ISDN line.
we have out trusty state monoply telkom (also know as Helkom) to thank for the situation.
And don't even get me started on what we have to pay for this paltry bandwidth!!!

Sounds like the situation here until recently. Got 1MBps broadband now, and they reckon the line should support 2Mb if I wanted it...

It helps minimise the number of top posts you can make in any given 24 hour period. :-)
Forgive my ignorance, but what pray tell is a "top post?"

now that's just
But your progressive logic is not correct methinks...
Anyway, I'm prepared to let it go ;-)
In further response to the OP (Original Poster), "Top Posting" is usually ONLY and issue here when people defend it. Not being too geeky or techie, we (the great and the good) will normally let it go as we're benevolent and charitable and understand that many are not fully educated in the ways and traditions of usenet.
Those, however, who defend it because they like doing it that way and believe the world should revolve around them and screw everyone else are basically fuckwits and have a place lower in the foot-chain than flies who live on dog s**te.
Ok forgive my ignorance, but I hadn't been aware of this piece of etiquette so I may or may not have top posted before and I therefore apologise. However, it would appear that outlook express has this as its default, am sure there must be a way of altering it, but cannot figure out how at present. Or am I better abandoning outlook in favour of something else? Suggestions please...
