Log line 2 (now using the get non-html files option, but makes no difference)

By the way Internet Explorer asks about unblocking ActiveX content, but that
just makes a bad layout look worse.  All browsers seem to struggle to decide
how to lay out the page and load it up slowly.

What happens if you try to download a 1 deep version of Nasa?  Can you get it
to work?  Only takes a minute to find out.

Anyway thanks for offering to help.  I'm trying to make the internet faster
for everyone so I'm sharing the love!
