Alain: Each web protocol is optimized for a particular function. You can download something using the HTTP protocol, but it is not nearly as fast and efficient at downloading than the FTP protocol is. Because FTP was designed at the outset for File-Transfers (of course). In the same vein, HTTP can stream but it doesn't do it very well compared to protocols that are designed explicitly for streaming. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
