What? every sysop has to go direct to the author to see if there is a update for each and every file area group - are you kidding what a waste of time.
Using the Filegate hubs they get their traffic within a minute well that how fast I send all held files/echos that I have receive within a minute of receiving it/them - cannot get any faster and I have sent all received within one minute or there about and that is to 30+ downlinks thanks to fast down and up speeds.
Get real !
