Ah, okay. I try to keep it up all the time, but it's a home computer,
so there are times it gets rebooted or the internet connection goes
out.

That explains it, thanks. Related question. arm often reports
throughput around 1 Mbit/s. Why is my "measured" bandwidth only 110
Kbit/s on blutmagie.de? (My connection is advertised as 10 Mbit and
always gets over 1 Mbit).
