Hi,

Thanks for your tests and feedback.
If you know more open server, I'm interested. Most server reserve that
to their users. Notifying the user doesn't sound a very good idea to me.
Most users don't even know what a FT proxy is. So telling them that if
they use another server that has a proxy would help won't improve things
IMHO.
