Should help somewhat. 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!
