I disagree...I prefer German beer. But then you live closer to the German border and I'm almost (4 km) in Belgium. ;-) > > Just out of curiosity, Harm : do you get something from > 87.48.71.79 - and if yes, how fast ? Hard to tell ... the gui gets clogged up after a while. Don't realy think so, though. Most of my bigger seeds come from France. As DNS is running I get mostly names not numbers ..... 81.13.163.12 (Switzerland) is a big one without name. tele.dk is there though. Can't tell if it's you. Another hour to go for the download.....after that I'll push my upload (throttled by my ISP) to the limit another 10 hours. -- Good luck, HarM
