I also receive the message about compression being used when I test with the flash test. I think it may be a bug. --------------------------------------- This brings up a PITA point for me. Recently, I have seen a rash of "Speedsite test server at <location> says blah, blah, blah" tickets finally reach me and I am telling everyone they're not an accurate way to measure network performance. I notice that at least some are just sending text in Latin. To other medium-sized eyeball network providers (I'm defining medium size as 50-150K DSL/Cable connections and 50-1500 leased line customers): are you seeing this and what do you tell your customers? scott
