This is a common problem and most download software can't restart a download in the middle. Some ISPs drop your connection after a period of time no matter what. 7.5.3 was released for free download way back when so most people would have been using dialup. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
