Well stated Kaj....it's an isue I keep have to telling people. ;-) Just for the info: Almost 80% done dloading the DVD at the max speed my ISP allows (120Kby/s but it's free, as in beer) .... I'm getting the best speeds I've ever had on bittorrent, most of them (highest rates) coming from .nl, .dk and .fr. :-) Strange thing: I see the whole world but no Belgians ......does anyone see .be adresses? BTW: I use "etherape" to see where and what's connecting. -- Good luck, HarM
