I suppose you couldn't set up a parnet.3fl.net virtual server on the www IP 
with the same content as mirror and restrict it to the Uni IP ranges, could 
you? Of all the WAIX internal stuff, mirror.3fl.net is the one I find most 
useful... ^_^

Well, one problem is that Uni people can saturate a WAIX link easier than ADSL 
people. Still, I don't think barring all Parnet traffic is the right 
solution...
