hmmm, interesting, I get 4-5 without a problem from places like
mozilla.com, I had loads of weird random errors in /var/messages when I
was using the 2nd to last version of the OBP, but all is o-k now that I
upgraded. I'm still stuck on v3.9 of OpenBSD as I found out the cdrom
drive died a few weeks back when I went to install 4.0 after my CD's
turned up :(
