       ml> i've always wanted _my_ listing in... otherwise i would never have sent        ml> the information ;)               What information would that be? You haven't been all too eager to give me       the proper privileges to access your server.               Yes, I probably haven't jumped through all the "getaccess" hoops on your       system that you expect the average John Doe to jump through, but a friendly       netmail to me, telling me that you've added me as a user just the same, would       have been highly appreciated. I do that a lot to fidonet persons that I want       to invite to this new JamNNTPD adventure of ours.               But, just now I tried to add FIDONEWS to my subscriptions on your server,       and the 10,000 headers in the echo took a staggering 45 minutes to "download"       at an average speed of far less than 1kB/s. From e.g. Paul's or Tommi's       servers, this takes just a few minutes, and from Ross' server, the fastest       JamNNTPd server in the known fido world, it takes less than a minute to       download 10k headers.               I have absolutely no idea about how long it takes to download 10k headers       from my server, but if it takes 45 minutes, I'll have to seriously reconsider       my professional position as a computer consultant.               How *are* you connected to the world, mark? Via modem....?               Needless to say, I cannot recommend anyone to get fidonet access from such       an extremely slow server, I hope you understand that? Feel free to consult       Ross in order to speed up your server to at least decent speeds.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
