TFP and telnet
 

just now, i was accessing the site throught telnet (faster, and i wanted to view the php source) but the connection was "terminated by a foreign host", and caused some weird malfunction in telnet. is accessing the site through telnet taboo? i really like the site and don't want to get banned or anything, plz respond

You won't be able to view the PHP source with telnetting to any site. You can only view what the server sends to you (i.e. html and such). PHP is interpreted on the server, and is not sent to the client (browser or telnet).

If you want faster browsing, try lynx, or Opera (Opera allows turning off image-loading which significantly speeds up sites). Both these browsers allow fast(er) browsing while still rendering the pages in a readable fashion, something that Telnet by it's very nature does not.

As to the malfunction: I have no idea, sorry.

Edited for spelling

alrighty, thanks silvy, hopefully i haven't broken any rules or anything, as i mentioned, i really like the site...and...stuff
