Just as a wee trouble shooting exercise - what sort of bandwidth has
your server got and are you doing any rate limiting by connection? My
ISP seems to have international bandwidth problems - downloads are well
slow unless multi-threaded, and they seem to be having trouble defining
that there is a problem at all. If your site is using a big pipe to the
greater net I'll use it as an example to show them exactly what I mean.

Thanks - that's what I'd deduced. With multi-threaded ftp I can suck
2Mbit/sec off your box, but.... otherwise something is limiting me to
about 10% of that. Time for another call to the idiots on their
helldesk - one more suggestion that I should reboot my PC and router and
I'm off on a helldesk excursion with my axe.
In the immortal words of Monty Python - we used to dream of 2MBits/sec. I am
still waiting for ADSL and at the moment am restricted to a slow 64K ISDN
line.
we have out trusty state monoply telkom (also know as Helkom) to thank for
the situation.
And don't even get me started on what we have to pay for this paltry
bandwidth!!!

Sounds like the situation here until recently. Got 1MBps broadband now, and
they reckon the line should support 2Mb if I wanted it...
though, I might look at upgrading the package I pay for to get more included
bandwidth. for an extra 7 quid a month I can go from 2GB included to
45GB...

It helps minimise the number of top posts you can make in any given 24

Ok forgive my ignorance, but I hadn't been aware of this piece of etiquette
so I may or may not have top posted before and I therefore apologise.
However, it would appear that outlook express has this as its default, am
sure there must be a way of altering it, but cannot figure out how at
present. Or am I better abandoning outlook in favour of something else?
Suggestions please...

OE Quotefix - a nice little addon for Outlook Express that fixes most of
it's annoyances and makes quotes work properly.

Personally, I ditched OE ages ago and have for the last several years used
Forte Agent (free trial to be had, costs about 29 bucks to register the full
one) which has gone from "good" (version 1.2, I think I started with) to
better (version 3 now which is about as good as they get) although it's very
much a personal choice thing. I know people who swear by microplanet
Gravity, and others who favour mozilla thunderbird. they're all good.
Full agent does email as well and v3 will allow multiple servers and
accounts.

Have to use MS Outlook for e-mail since it syncs with my Pda for the diary
and contacts too. Would be nice if it would have done news too. Will stick
with OE for a bit (until it completely pisses me off), it does what I need
it too.

Seriously - have a look at Thunderbird. I use Outhouse at work (same
reasons as you) but certainly haven't regretted moving my news (and
personal email) to T'bird.

Fair enough, although it is important to follow etiquette I feel, if you let
it slide, then eventually everything slides, all part of good manners IMO.
Have got it sorted now thanks to EMB. Does make it easier as before I always
had to delete a line at the top and add one at the bottom, right pain.

Outlook and Outlook Express are entirely different programs, not even from the
same base I'm told.
I use Outlook Express, although I would suggest Outhouse distress is more apt.
There is a wee freeware (I think) called quotefix which allows one to select top
or bottom cursor position.
It also attempts to correct some of the more obvious dificiences of Outhouse
distress. It has a fair go at fixing the sig seperator, not always successful, but
at least it tries.

That was to what I was referring - you have a reasonably larger group of
listeners at this end of the world now. Any objections if I steal your
concept and do something similar?
