You most certainly do not pay for the Mirror's bandwidth! Just look at this article: http://lwn.net/Articles/178618/ my contract said I paid for it... What? Sure, you may pay for n GB of download, but the mirror still has to pay for n GB of _upload_ in order to serve it to you. -- Tavian

I found some more information concerning the ispell problem with emacs. It seems that if I do ispell-buffer, region, or word on clean data (correctly spelled), I don't get any errors in the mini buffer and in fact, ispell-word even tells me the word is correct. Fine - that works as it should.
