With what we do you wouldn't be disconnected unless you're doing this continually and make it into our top 1% of time users; With 15k users, the top 1% are invariably the ones who leave their connection on, month after month, 24/7. So, as you can see, we punish the abusive users of what is intended to be an interactive session. Your 24h download wouldn't even show up on our radar. But -- to counterpoint -- Why doesn't MS SP updates allow continued downloads? HTTP has a provision for this. FTP has a provision for this. Rsync has a provision for this. The answer? They want you to pony up for the update CD. :-) -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
