I changed it from 8 meg to 2 meg chunks, so now there are about 350 chunks. It makes the .metalink file about 27k, which is slightly bigger but pretty inconsequential when you're dealing with files like this. People on slower, less reliable connections will be better served by the smaller chunks. > Can we add a link to the metalink on the BeleniX site - maybe > with the URLs Anthony provided in his original post to add > context? That WAS quick! Thanks Ananth. I've added links back to you guys as well. -- (( Anthony Bryan ... Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ] )) Easier, More Reliable, Self Healing Downloads
