well, some p2p apps keep checksums of their parts so they know the file went across ok, so they'd see the zero'd out parts, the checksum would fail, and they would try again, see the zero'd out parts, checksum would fail, try again, checksum fail, try again.... I would say just ban the use of p2p apps like kazaa, limewire on your network, and police it very closely. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules gets the door. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the beginning was The Word and The Word was Content-type: text/plain -- The Word of Bob.
