ah, well i was just thinking the search engines should be combined into a group so they could use one proxy, proxy A and the nntp alone could be on its own proxy; a proxy thats meant for high speed transfers. personally i am trying to ssh my http traffic from my computer to my vpn service; so A, my packets cant be logged at work, and B, so comcast (my i-net provider at home & work) doesn't send me any DMCA's (which i doubt would happen since searching for anything isnt illegal, but truthfully i dont want to risk it since i am warezing alot). technically i could bridge alt.binz to socks cap (or a similiar program), and so on, but i figured it would be easier if the function was already built into alt.binz. if i am the only one with this request dont worry, i dont want to be a burden for u rdl
