# vim: expandtab

is it possible to create a masterserver using this method?

Why the query stops everytime at a output of exactly 172.032 bytes?

not work, tem em php?

This script was created "14 years ago".. 😅 I'm sure it doesn't work anymore and I can't even remember making it. Goodluck finding other solutions!
