Hi gang,

NIU went to Packateer some time ago. No problems to report. We not only 
have a web cache for banner and pop-ups ads, but Packateer as well, which 
really helps us. Even so, more than 60% of all traffic is MP3 related. But 
the only delays I see are occasionally a 15-30 minute delay on HDS during 
peak periods around 10AM.
