Thanks. Yep, I was running 3.08, just downloaded 3.03.

Cheers,

The only thing to consider is that 3.03 could let hackers into your
system if you are using a proxy to connect to the internet. For most
people that is not a concern, I hope it is not one of yours.

No, that doesn't apply to me.

I am not
talking about the connection to SetiQueue, I am talking about how you
actually connect to the internet. What the programmers did was fix the
proxy problem but then failed to compress the program during the
compile process. Result...it runs slower than version 3.03, but no
hackers can get in.

How much slower? I've returned a few units from a couple of my machines
since the change and they don't seem any faster. Maybe I'll have to wait for
a larger representitive sample to see the difference?
