Which do you use, Edgy or Dapper?

**Blacktalon** · October 31st, 2006

Edgy Eft

I'm having trouble with dapper u.s. servers (on the west coast). Yesterday at a friend's house on his Qwest DSL line we couldn't get anything out of the u.s. servers. I tried at home this morning (0500 hours PST) on our horribly slow dial-up connection and was able to get some data at about 1 kbps. Don't know what's up, I woulda expected more people asking questions!
