I think what he was saying the was the Police force of London in other words who they are rather than atempting to call them by their official name *-)

That's how I read it anyway

I can confirm that - the servers are located here in Herndon, Virginia and Avsim's headquarters are in Charlottesville ..... and no, I had nothing to do with the the whole affair. :lol:

I am curious as to why Avsim still has no upload capability. They have had long enough to know wheter the download portion of the system works, and that was the reason for not resuming the upload part of the system.

Hi Nigel, the upload part of any system is its week spot from a security point of you, so having got everything else sorted you'd want to be bloody sure of your security messures before giving the world access to your server. ;)

That makes a lot of sense. Guess I wasn't tinking (as usual).
