It works from here, but the websites are always very very slow to
come. Lazarus, freepascal, doc, etc. everything related to
*freepascal.org is slow. At home on my 56kbps modem it is almost as
fast as with my 3mb dsl at work. ;) -- When it downloads a file it
goes fast, but it seams that resolving/requesting the content to be
download by the webbrowser is a pain. I tought it was the server of
freepascal, not really my connection...

I don't know why.
