OK, thanks. Appears nobody else is interested :-( The reason I asked is for the last 6 weeks I was getting symptoms of a DDoS attack about 4 to 5 times a day (no disconnection, just the Internet went awol for 5 to 10 minutes - everything timing out). My ISP checked everything (I have a business deal 20:1) and they couldn't find out what was happened - but traceroutes revealed that when it happened, I was getting 70% packet loss and ping rose to over 1000. Out of desperation I got Ask to remove me from the pool - and since then, my connection has been super fast. So I was wondering if the UK has finally over-subscribed the DSL* and now it makes a 256/512 DSL unsuitable for running a pool server in the UK. Nick * Ask also mentioned it may be my router cracking up, unable to hanlde the UDP traffic - but it has been OK for 18 months... -- "Person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt person doing it." -Chinese Proverb _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
