Yes, the limit is one of time, not of number of bytes transmitted. My earlier connection stayed open for 32 s & got 819 K ; one of the other repliers -- thanks to all -- got 38 s & the whole file. So 2 conclusions for me : (1) yes, servers do impose time-slices ; (2) my basic problem remains the very low bandwidth I'm getting, which I have to take up with my ISP once I've clarified other aspects. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
