OK, I'll try it that way. I'm impressed that they got this much stuff in a 68K browser, but it's really a heavy task for an old Mac. > >It does suck... but it's fast.

It doesn't freeze all the time, just once in awhile, and since the remote server hasn't sent any data, there isn't much else to do anyway. iCab can also freeze, and I am getting too many crashes. Later I'll see if a single connection helps that. Another thing I'd like it to do is schedule downloads but not start them, so I could start them later. I can't seem to set the preferences to allow 0 downloads. Have to make a feature request. Actually, that is high on my list for all browsers. Instead of starting a download (especially for those @#$% redirected links) I would rather they recorded the final URL for download in batch later on. Going further, it would be nice if they could save the list of download URLs to an external file. Then I could take that URL list and schedule them on a UNIX server for overnight. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
