Are you 'behind' a university controlled network or directly on the internet? If someone else controls the network branch there is some chance that you are behind a transparent proxy that intercepts port 80 and tries to resolve requests from a cache - and perhaps logs and filters what you are doing. If this is overloaded or mismanaged it can slow things down. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
