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.

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...

having just discovered this:

http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/wildcamafrica/wildcam.html

though, I might look at upgrading the package I pay for to get more included
bandwidth. for an extra 7 quid a month I can go from 2GB included to
45GB...

It helps minimise the number of top posts you can make in any given 24
hour period.

Blimey.

I quite like:

top posting because that's where the cursor happens to be is like ****ting
your pants because that's where your arse happens to be.

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...

Right.... that's fixed it. I've uploaded it for you.
