Gripe: There's nowhere to hide the present I bought for a member of the family until Christmas morning. I used to hear stories about how my grandma would hide presents so well, she forgot about them. But, my aunt had found them anyway and on Christmas morning, she'd say "Hey, what about the such-and-such you got me?" and go get it from its hiding place. Or, as soon as she opened something, she'd say "It doesn't fit" without trying it. She'd already tried it while it was hidden. When my mom went to college, my grandma skunked my aunt -- she hid all the presents in the dorm.

I don't know who is getting all the server bandwidth, but it sure isn't me... and it's been this way for months!! 8-) This is a fast one!! One of about half a dozen I've received in the last day or two... Over 12 minutes as of now and doing a bristering 0.42Kbps... Sheesh!! ID: 1181049 ·

Yer running 6.12.33, Switch to 6.10.58 and You might get more, as always YMMV, I ran 6.12.34, same problem, went back to 6.10.58 and I get lots of work, plus the backoffs due to bandwidth problems(traffic at Seti@Home). I've had wu's get stuck at 3.5Kbps... Good Luck. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST ID: 1181053 ·
