I have answered my own question to some extent. FTP SEEMS more efficient, particularly if someone cancels a download. The biggest difference is in the quality of information that is logged. I have a much better idea of what is downloaded successfully by whom and the speed performance. BTW, if anyone has tried to download kernel source or optimized packages; We thought that our upload speed was considerably higher than it is. I should almost quadruple - hopefully - by the end of business today. ________________________________________________________________________ Total Quality Management - A Commitment to Excellence http://www.TQMcube.com
