(incorrect URL, off-site server down, etc, etc) Since I don't use 1.69 or 1.70, I can't have the "Arachne asks too fast" problem. But I frequently get red boxes when dealing with images and I know EXACTLY why. I have Cache2TEMP Yes. My TEMP is on a 6Meg ramdisk. It doesn't take many ridiculous sized BMPs to fill that TEMP and all images loaded after that display as red boxes. Clearing your CACHE does no good in this case as the standard CLR.bat doesn't wipe TEMP ! If I exit and del all the BMPs in TEMP then I'm good to go again. If I wasn't so lazy I might fix CLR.bat.:(( - Clarence Verge - Back to using Arachne V1.62 ....
