If you have a very slow connection, I suggest that you might get the smaller files in the subdirectories [a-openings, b-openings, etc.] instead of the big files [a.zip, b.zip, etc.]. The reason is that this is a development machine and reboots frequently [probably at least once a day]. You might get 2/3 of a 40 meg file and then get cut off. If you collect the subfiles [which, when put together *form* the big files] then if the machine gets restarted, you will only lose a few megs at most. I see a lot of slow connections [2K/sec or less] which are pulling down the big files. One user did manage to perform a peak transfer rate of 42,798K/sec on a large file [Probably T1]. At any rate, if you have a slow machine, you might strongly consider gathering the subsections instead of the whole thing in one bite. -- Hypertext C-FAQ: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html C-FAQ ftp: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu, C-FAQ Book: ISBN 0-201-84519-9 Try "C Programming: A Modern Approach" ISBN 0-393-96945-2 Want Software?
