Thanks for the newer version!

I'm up to "n" in my rsync of the debian archive, which has been 
saturating my poor 384 KB/s link for several days:

http://staff:newtek@stats.newtek.com/tempest.core.newtek.com/tempest.core.newtek.com_eth0.html

I suspect the packet loss on my end due to link saturation, plus a bit 
of packet loss on the server end (due to slashdot) is why I can't 
complete a TCP 3-way handshake to hadrons.org, while most other 
locations work (slowly).

As soon as I get a local debian mirror setup, I'll try converting a 
system with the debtakeover script.
