   Hello Wilfred,

   Besides what is already out in the open, the other things I can think of is   
   (1) an issue that I'm in the process of resolving is that 301/1 connects here   
   about 1500 times per day, and roughly 1450 of them are failed connections..   
   This I can't really do anything about until I get a response, and (2) with   
   over 100 links, if 1 or more of them are down and maxclients is set to a low   
   number, it delays as long as it takes for the connection to timeout - which   
   can also hold things up quite a bit. Every once in awhile I look into this and   
   remove dead or unresponsive links. What else more can I say?   
      
   I don't remember why I originally set my maxclients to a lower value, but   
   something not happening the way I wanted it to in the past made me do it. That   
   said, I've raised it for now to see if it makes things faster. However, if I   
   start having other issues because of it.. 4 minutes in transit is still better   
   than a week or more via snail mail. ;)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
