Well, well well

Seems their proxy server has been set to cache large'ish executables... I tried an international download of a file twice :

wget http://tucows.easynet.net/files4/integrity.exe ( 4.88 KB/s)
wget http://tucows.easynet.net/files4/integrity.exe (12.86 KB/s)


Then re-ran with cache explicitly off

wget -C off http://tucows.easynet.net/files4/integrity.exe ( 5.02 KB/s)

==============

So if you're doing testing make sure you're not testing Sentech's transparent proxy...

this is a very good start, something so easy to do that it should have been set in place a long time ago
