And sometimes I get "Your session time-limit has expiered [sic]. Goodbye.". And I have tried from 4 different machines on different networks etc. I really don't have these kinds of problems with any other FTP sites, so I think Dann's site is setup in an unorthodox manner. I need the 2400.pgn 2550.pgn ... 2600u.pgn etc. files. Can someone who _can_ connect, get them for me? I would be really glad. Alternatively, you could point me to another place that has these files, and also other places that have other huge files good for automatic book creation. /David
