Maybe you have just been very unlucky, co-inciding with when it is 
broken, like me when I decided to tweek the Nos settings. Three times 
in the last 6 months I have decided to make major changes and three 
times there just so happened to be a problem at demon at the same 
time. That's *unlucky* !!!

I might be, I'll check 'cos I've had the url's a while. You would 
expect it to fail with the proxy as well. Using the above "coincidence 
theory", it probably doesn't! :-)
