This should be easy to solve for static content. Just have a proxy that does repeated partial transfers. The HTTP protocol allows resuming a file part-way through, so when it goes slow you can just drop the connection and start a new one where the previous one finished. The problem is that this isn't going to work for dynamic content (CGI-BIN scripts etc). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
