I would think this is prolly the reason why it hasnt had any 'attention' - I would think that support would find it impossible to analyse a problem when it's just reported as "the proxies are slow/broken" and ppl do seem to have a tendency to blame them for everything under the sun ...

Rather like "When all you have is a hammer [selecting your proxy] - every problem looks like a nail [the proxy]."

Look here:

Just posting more evidence:

I have 3 downloads coming from the same fileplanet server, the one going through my regular manchester proxy immediately went to 20KB. I then switched to the col-1 and started 2 more, those are coming through at 88KB and 112KB.

Ok instead of "my regular proxy" I mean the one it was automatically routed through.

We have said many times that downloading the same URL through colchester-1 is faster than the auto-routed method.
