This is likely your problem. Ok. I'll lower that back to a more sane value. I could have sworn it used to be just a "timeout" though. So if you took more than how ever many seconds to download, it would cut you off. Was this something that was changed? Or maybe i'm thinking of NCSA. :) But still, I don't see why upgrading to 1.2.5 would trigger this problem. If anything, lowering the timeout will just cover up whatever the real problem is. I mean, whatever I can take, i'll take. And if i'm the only one reporting this problem, then there's no sense in spending all sorts of time investigating it. Thanks a lot for your time. > Another possibility: do you use ScriptLog? If so try disabling it. Nope, don't use it.
