Maybe a more general solution is to define that variable to include just those sites you want, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. For me, heanet is way faster than aleron, I'm connected to Deutsche Telekom backbone via DSL. The reason is it depends on where you're connected. It might be useful to have some topological switches to tell the ports system where you're connected and prefer sites that are "close", maybe a weighted randomization. An easier would be to reduce the large sites to just those that are close to your location, network-wise. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
