I am surprised at a 4-5 hour figure.  We batch to UW every hour, so
the average delay to there should be 30 minutes.   Unless there are problems
dialing in.

Other delays can come from CPU load etc.  There is a 56kbit link to
Toronto, so this is not using a significant part of that bandwidth.
(1 meg is 3 minutes/day of that bandwidth)

If you want to delay news, Clarinet news is prioritized, so that the
top stories go through quickly and the others can take their time.

Putting clari.news.{bulletin,urgent,top,briefs,flash} in a fast
category, along with clari.tw (just because tech news is popular) and
clari.canada in a fast category would result in very fast delivery of
breaking news, and cheap deliverty of the remaining bulk.


RIght here, of course, I get it right from the satellite, and I found
that handy during baseball season, since I get game stories within a
few minutes of the close of the game.  The globe and mail that comes
to Waterloo is a pain, as it closes before ballgames end.
