Actually I don't have a problem with data-rate as I use FTP and can
(in theory) download things whenever it suits me. However, it would be
a more effective use of my connect time to use mail, as I'm getting
really hammered by poor throughput to freefall - I got 95% packet loss
a few minutes ago when I wanted to commit something.

In fact, I've just subscribed!

It would (now that I do have a potential problem with data-rate 8-)
