(Nor does freenet.) Both work though, contrary to what you state. TCP handles constipated connections fine, if a little wasteful. It doesn't care whether this constipation comes form overloaded hardware, software deliberately dropping/delaying low-prioritised packets, or whatever. It may be crude, but so is a club. -- Robbe
