Sometimes, sites can be busy for 3-5 hours. That is, when the US is awake
and surfing hte nets. =) (or the people in Asia)
And, as I live in Sweden, I have (like others on this list) learned that
backbones CAN go down. It's NOt fun to try surfing here then, sometimes
not even the FIRST steps of a connection are performed....=/
