As you expected, no benefit for ARMini users: ARMini with RO 5.20 (10 June 2013) and !Boot on the SD card, not the USB drive. NS #2771 There was no complaint about the bandwidth being too low but the reported average from going only to the www.buxtonweather.co.uk site was 27269 bytes/second. The previous figure I reported was 33092 bytes/second (NS#2697). Regards Andrew -- Andrew Pinder
