I'm sorry if I've missed this but what is the current method of getting the latest version of the vanilla code, I'm currently running pl7 as INL and dogfight servers, and I's like to jump over pl8 as I had problems with it before. As a side point dogfight.uk.netrek.org is marked as flooding on the metaservers list. After bringing it up I telneted into each metaserver to check that I was propagated to it, by the time I reached the last I was marked as flooding. is this something my manual telnets kicked off? how long does a flooding statis take to expire? Or is it that my .metaservers lists servers more than once under different names? .metaservers: metaserver.netrek.org 3521 60 900 dogfight.uk.netrek.org F 2592 2593 open metaserver.us.netrek.org 3521 60 900 dogfight.uk.netrek.org F 2592 2593 open metaserver.eu.netrek.org 3521 60 900 dogfight.uk.netrek.org F 2592 2593 open metaserver2.us.netrek.org 3521 60 900 dogfight.uk.netrek.org F 2592 2593 open dns: $ host metaserver.netrek.org metaserver.netrek.org A 208.20.202.42 metaserver.netrek.org A 65.193.17.240 $host metaserver.us.netrek.org metaserver.us.netrek.org CNAME sage.real-time.com sage.real-time.com A 208.20.202.42 $ host metaserver.eu.netrek.org metaserver.eu.netrek.org A 65.193.17.240 metaserver.eu.netrek.org A 208.20.202.42 $ host metaserver2.us.netrek.org metaserver2.us.netrek.org CNAME orion.netrek.org orion.netrek.org A 65.193.17.240
