You can use any site on the planet, but usually you choose the nearest to you. The implications for you are simply speed - some sites get more hits than others and so may be slower, or they may have a lower capacity connection to the internet. If you're internet environmentally conscious then you might pick the nearest one so as to save transmitting volume over large distances. However, most, if not all, ISPs maintain caches anyway, so the chances are, if you pick a popular site then someone else in your area has caused it to be cached locally at your ISP, and you will in reality (transparently) be getting it from there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
