Hi KC,

Before I go any further with this, I want to sincerely apologize for implying 
that you were at fault or doing anything incorrectly.  This was never my 
intension.  Furthermore, I never meant to imply that you, as a deaf-blind 
Braille-only user, were the one with the problem.  This seems to all be 
happening to an unlucky group of mPower users.

I didn't see this message until after I sent an earlier one about trying the 
download process again.  I have never seen the results you got on the BookShare 
page, regarding the size of the book.  I'll go download another handful of 
books and see if it crops up on my end.  BTW, I've been doing most of my 
downloading, (and other BN things), with the speech turned off.  I'll keep this 
up and see if I come across anything related to book size.  I have noticed that 
the files that fail to download are always smaller than BookShare or the IF 
Archive says they should be, so this is why I have stated that BookShare files 
can't be unpacked because of the downloading stopping prematurely.

I'm considering not posting anymore of my findings on-list, because I seem to 
be muddying the already murky waters, and being offensive in the process.  This 
download issue is effecting a larger number of people than I at first realized, 
so I'll try to do my part in keeping list traffic down to a dull roar. [Smile]


Keep posting with your findings.  We'll figure this eventually, says my 
internal optimist.  Meanwhile, I'll be resetting whenever I need to download 
something.  [Grin>

Sarah,  the message you  told us to look for  with  speech turned 
on, did not surface. The only message heard,  is the one I have 
on  the braille display. More to the point, the message 
indicating  the incomplete dowload occurred while I was still on 
the Bookshare site.  When I saw that the book consisted of  158 
kb but only 97 kb were downloaded, I didn't go any further, 
because, obviously,  that was where the process stopped!

I assure you that I am doing everything by the book and doing so 
for 3 years. Therefore, the problem isn't with me.  In  fact I 
have had two blind friends try my unit with the same results.  We  
will all  go thrugh this again so I can show them  exactly what 
I'm reading and they will hear it!

(sigh!)
I find it interesting that,  inspite of messages to Bookshare, no 
one has yet  replied!
KC
