OK - it will try them and then move on as it stands but empty sites could be removed from the list too. Partly empty sites get tried then make moves on. Even so it's faster by FAR for us non-usa makers. Yes I could tweek MASTER_SITE_BACKUP, but how do I get to insert a site to look in *before* it ducks off to sunsite or wherever?
