I've just been playing with the mirror to see how fast it is. You
*must* remember to set passive off or the connection will drop without
any explanation.
I also saw regular connection refused although a few retries usually
does succeed in a connection. After that, I saw a transfer rate of
about 175KBs to my home cable modem connection. FWIW, AOL blocks pings
to the server, but a ping to their router averages about 45ms - pretty
darn decent!
