We saw just the opposite. The amount of Spam appeared to be down over the

Hi,
The one thing I have not seen mentioned is the ability to do CONDITIONAL
downloads - which is crucial for timed downloads when most of the time
there may not even BE a more current .SNF file.
Just like your browser, the HTTP Request for your latest .SNF file should

Pete,
With all due respect - I think the download problem is self-inflicted,
because your web site is providing unsuitable examples to your customers!
Even with moderate bandwidth, your server would be able to handle tens of
