If you use KDE, you can run KGet, which with set itself up in the toolbox, and run every time you attempt to D/L something, and pay attention to it. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Having said that mine is a 56k dial-up modem, so the possibilty of getting the most out of such a facility is minimal.I'm restricted to the minimal band width the ISP allows me, never more than 4kb/sec, and usually far below that.
