  2. Hmmmm, interesting Monkey design… But sound like it might not been too good? Based on the above comment at least.

  3. Was on live support to these guys a couple of weeks back – They didn’t seem like the brightest apple in the basket. When I asked for a test file they said they would need to set one up – When I asked what was taking so long they told they were uploading it via FTP. I suggested they use wget. LOL

    Hey. I think it is very rude to call the support guys monkeys. Oh wait…

  7. hmmm surprising that one needs to upload a test file to the server, tell them they can create a huge dummy test file under 1 second using this command:

    #time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.bin bs=1000000000 count=1
