As a guide, I'm finding it takes typically 27 - 32 seconds for the new screen to appear from the green Alfasud page.

Not as it's perhaps a great help, but the AlfaOwner.com site in the UK, which is similar in layout and format, takes two or three seconds to display a new page.

Andy, you might want to try another utility: HiJackThis is a freeware program that will report on everything running on your computer. It's great for identifying nefarious software that you don't know about, although it won't remove them. That said, it doesn't sound like you've got a virus if you get frast d/loads from other sites in the UK.

Lately, I've noticed that my "phishing" filter pops up when I'm on the BB. I just bypss it, but I'm wondering if, perhaps, your ISP has some filtering going on that impedes the BB from loading quickly? You might want to contact their help desk and see.

Since we're now getting relatively fast responses here in the states, it would appear that there's something between here and there that's slowing things down.

It would be useful to know if people on the continent, and elsewhere like OZ or Thailand, are experiencing similar slowness.

In particular it would be useful to know if anyone in the UK is getting fast responses when connected to the BB.
