Hi Jim,
just out of interest, what happens when you search for a string less

is the Pr case sensitive?
does this only occur on the blast site?

Apologies for revisiting an old thread, and for the stream-of-

After the suggestion of comparing Hulu to iPlayer, I found a proxy

free to recommend a proxy/other method. reckon i'd use it a lot though.

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask - I emailed the iPlayer

3G has more than enough bandwidth to cope with the 512k
