Re: nl2.php.net

Hello, I'm okay with waiting the 8th. 1024kbits/s is not so important but it's enough. I will see with goba then if it's better to move to the new server or not according of its results. To goba: he was here since 18 months, I'm sure we can let him few days to see if it can finally host it somewhere else. -- Regards.

Allowing a maximum of 1024kb/s per IP. This might take only a few weeks from now.
