Hi Alexander,
	I've had another go at your slow link this is a different url to what
you originally published and I've managed to pull over the 3 files.

	Comment on your slow link.  It's not slow, it's overloaded.  It runs
quite fast at times.  I can get 10K bytes in a few seconds then it may
be dead for minutes.  This is typical of an over loaded connection. This
is caused by data bursts.  Lots of bursts of data and there are lots of
rejected cells due to lack of BW.  Of course one lost cell causes one IP
datagramme to resend.  One of the hops between you and me needs to
reduce the traffic feeding into it.

		Regards Ian.
