It wasn't a case of transparency as much as one of 'prettiness'. With a JAVA applet one could more easily show the user the status of the download and/or acutally display the download itself. Not sure about that one; I'd love to have a little applet showing me the progress on my splitfile download with the standard pause/resume/retry options on it (and change HTL), but its not worth fretting over ... -- Michael T.
