The problem was more than such users were taking up a lot of "FTP slots" since they had really looooong downloads. There are only 3600 FTP slots max and when you have between 200 and 300 people a day downloading the ISO images, as we did, it really plays hob with the traffic patterns and penalizes those who just want to jump in for one or two small files and then leave again. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
