Why would that be? Why should it matter if you use port 80 or port 7777? They're taking the same routes through the same machines. I don't see why the port number would impact how much you slow down other things. In fact, I'd think that using a separate HTTP server instance on port 7777 would make performance slightly slower rather than faster. But the difference would be very slight. If the Easy400 stuff is actually open source, you might consider hosting the downloads on SourceForge.net, they'll put it on mirrors all over the world, and then you won't have this problem. > Problem is that many companies did install a proxy solution from IBM > pSeries.

There may be an IBM product that has this problem, however, there are lots of reasons why people would have problems with port 7777. Many companies lock down every single port, and only make exceptions for the ones that they know their employees need. If employees only need web access, they might only allow port 80 and nothing else. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
