Anything I write should leave here to        NB>> all links at roughly the same time. Does the order of callouts        NB>> have anything to do with how you list nodes in binkd.conf? If so,        NB>> my list starts with 1: and 2: is further down the list in        NB>> numerical order. Otherwise, who knows.               WV> It of course depends on in what order your tosser presents the files        WV> to binkd.

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              ...
