    Slow net

    is it just me or is the entire net running slowly at the moment?
    is a flower best picked in it's prime or greater withered away by time?

      When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

              Nope, never owned a Sega.

              Something you could try to speed up your internet connection is to specify a manual proxy, the one I use, which seems pretty quick, is 194.117.133.68 port 8080. This is a Blueyonder proxy in Gateshead

                  Actually to my suprise, I found the other day that webcache.blueyonder.co.uk on port 3128 works pretty nicely

                  It resolves to cache-hay.cableinet.co.uk - so I guess it's the Hayes cache?

                    Steve, I thought that used to be down the road from you in Basildon
