Huh?

I don't see how a dedicated account is going to save your connections
from breaking.  I'm afraid that TCP/IP is fairly democratic, and anon
users get killed just as readily as non-anon users.. :-)

In any case, your site is already in the mirror permissions list for
fast-track access to the bits but it's clearly, as I said, not going to
help you get around network instability problems!
