What is the underlying issue here?  Does sonic.net want to cut back on nblug's 
bandwidth usage?  It pays for their customers to get files from within their 
cloud than go outside and bring it through.  I have two accounts with 
sonic.net, wireless and wire DSL, the throughput from the nblug mirror is 
great for me.  nblug mirror is my main mirror, if I can get something there I 
will.
