Simos,

Many thanks for your kind explanation.

My Internet line is of 256Kbit/s (ADSL- download stream 256kb/s and up
stream is about 128KB/s per se), what they said, but actual download
speed is about 20-30KB/s.
Would you please suggest on how I can clone and zip before I download
them? I can do some small downloads at later stage. This might be the
way.

Appreciated in advance.

Anousak
