"wget -c" is my friend nowadays. It'll resume like the old zmodem would. N I C E ! ! Even after the dnload got completely interrupted and died. She'll pick right back up where she left off. If I could get "smart' to use wget and get one file at a time while resuming from any interuption, life would be totally total. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
