	Two weeks ago, when I last looked (via snmp) the usage of the link
comming from the USA was 100%, so it is probably queing delays making things
slow. Mean while, the link in the other direction was at about 50%. Don't
discount solar effects either, there was a post a little while ago, pitty I
can't remember the dates.
	If anyone can have a guess, how effective has archie.au been in
reducing usage on the link?
