To be honest I find it appallingly slow, from my office. And we do not have a slow network connection... (2Mb for our PSI connection, 10Mb via a secondary connection - this allows us download speeds of approx 16K from the states etc, and which we use for web proxy usage. Connecting to the yaroze site is also extremely slow via our proxy.) I used to just think it was the fact that you were using a http firewall proxy through to another machine on your internal network that was causing the delay. Or are you using headers that stop caching? >tracert www.playstation.co.uk Tracing route to chuka.playstation.co.uk [194.203.13.2] over a maximum of 30 hops: 3 19 ms 200 ms 150 ms cambridge1.cambridge.uk.psi.net [154.32.17.1] 4 28 ms 29 ms 62 ms core.london1.uk.psi.net [154.32.2.3] 5 192 ms 76 ms 137 ms fe0.gw1.linx.pipex.net [194.68.130.25] 6 168 ms 204 ms 52 ms fddi5-0-0.gw1.london.pipex.net [158.43.194.1] 7 143 ms 123 ms 209 ms fddi0-0.gw4.london.pipex.net [158.43.200.4] 8 2763 ms 2723 ms 2570 ms sonycomp-ent-gw.pipex.net [158.43.33.54] 9 2007 ms 2431 ms 1505 ms chuka.playstation.co.uk [194.203.13.2] 8/9 are completely silly. What do you have going across that link? I would guess at it being a 33.6 Modem with you trying to get the whole of the internet through it!! :-) Mark
