Every 30 minutes past the hour it searches for the files and then processes
them. Creates the response posts for both ELIST and netmails, sends them to 
its
uplink (250/1) who processes them immediately to all down and up links when
then polls depending on schedules set up in various script in every one or
three hourly periods.

For some nodes they go out immediately or close to it - depending on traffic.

My connection with Virgin Media is using a 276Mb down and 27Mb up links but
this will change as of 1st April as the discounted rate dies and I will have 
to
have a new contract at the lowest speed as close to 35 GB pounds per month as
possible - I am retired with limited income (pension).

The speed is more likely to revert to around 100 - 120 Mb down and 10 Up.

They are all increasing rates by over 10% this year.

Vincent
