I just did just that. CHASS has a 5 Gb/s Internet connection, so the whole file ( 25 MB ) arrived before the boom fell after c 39 s . They don't have Wget (!), but Lynx does the job equally well. Then I used Fuse to mount the remote dir locally & downloaded the file to my machine at c 75 KB/s in c 5 min ; I could have used Krusader instead & got a pretty progress box. BTW the file is a book mentioned by Carla Schroeder yesterday. I don't really need it, but it looked interesting. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
