I'm on the education/research network so I don't pay for the connection. 
And I often download between 3 and 5am like now when I'm up at the
telescope, it's so much faster (up to 100kB/s). 

I don't know why but I feel like discriminated when the net approaches its
saturation level :-). Strange enough, I have reasonably fast connection to
the rest of Europe but the U.S. during daytime is simply hopeless (and the
U.K. too, but traceroute enlighetened me once showing that the shortest
path between Holland and London goes through New York and Washington, and
that my notions of geography were hopelessly antiquated ;-))

However, my main point is that I am not going back to using vger under any
circumstances (hmmm... if there were an incentive of a few million bucks,
I might reconsider my position ;-))

	Regards,
	Gabriel.
