Any request to any DNS server will either be answered immediately, or the DNS server will ask higher up the chain, then answer your request . It's very clever and it works . If you know the IP address of a site, you can enter the "dotted quad", and not use the DNS system, giving the "human readable" name . That is how the Internet worked at first,: each host had to have a hosts file which had the name/IP address of every host on the network . That became too hard to administer (and the file became "fairly big") . So the DNS system was built . If you have cached addresses (or a hosts file) , that can give problems . That information is used in preference to asking a DNS server, and if the information is wrong, it's wrong . :D	Graham L (2)

I clicked on it and started the download and it started at 16KB/s, which is what I expect. Out of curiousity I followed the instructions by TerryW, then restarted the download and it worked!!! I downloaded 257MB in 20 minutes. What does confuse me is that I still could not surf at www.jetstramgames.co.nz. Also where do I go to find the downloads like the one I just had. I heard there are a few other games I can download at high speed. thanks sam	sam m (517)
