+I understood what you said.  I just disagree.
+To summerize the essence of my previous posts, if a mirror decides to 
+allow multiple connexions, apparently they have no problems with that, 
+as they could readily deny such connexions.
+So how to you think that you have the right to deny their decision to 
+allow multiple connexions on _their_ site ?
+If you have a problem with multiple connexions on _your_ site, you have 
+every right -- and probably should -- restrict such access to your site, 
+in whatever way you wish.  And on-one has the right to dictate to you 
+how to run your site.
+Hopefully my point is now clear.

+Regards :)
