|The Prospero daemon would still be faster to retrieve things from overseas,
|but the problem was that a) acess to local files was slower, and b) the
|newer daemon did not support all the ls options (eg. -t) users have come
|to expect.

Hmm, maybe the file transfers would have been faster, but that doesn't help
when you cannot even get a directory listing due to prospero timeout errors.

|I trust things are better now ?

Much better, Thanks.
