Thanks for the info. I will look into that, I thought that Astraweb
were reliable so guessed it as a VM problem (my bad maybe) :)
With Astraweb, I like the download (blocks) package option with
unlimited upload, no set monthly fee plus its good as emergency
back-up. Shame that Newsleecher doesn't have that option :(
Geographically... I'm very close to RAF Waddington... Ooops ! Did I
really just say that outloud !? :|
