Just two quick comments on the below post. First off, the m3u format itself is used for streaming audio.
Second, the BN cannot download large files. You see, no matter where you choose to download a file, it must first get downloaded into the KeySoft System Disk before it is transferred to the location you selected. Now, the KS Disk is 8 MB, but there are about 6 free due to the fact that factory installed files take up about 2. This means that, when downloading files with KeyWeb, a file larger than 6 MB cannot be transferred in its entirety into the KS Disk, and it therefore will not be downloaded. Ever wondered why a large file just won't download, or why the progress bar constantly shows 0% when you execute the link to download the file, instead of KeyWeb's prompting you where you want to download the file? So, if the file's larger than the amount of free space you have on the KS Disk, don't even bother trying to download it using KeyWeb, because it won't happen. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Milton M.
