This isa Joseph. Andrew Riden once commented on this. I think (as I have mentioned), it might be triggered by memory shortage on RAM (before the file in question is downloaded to the destination folder, the file is first saved on a temporary loacitonand then it is copied to the destination folder.).

Unless I'vemissed something, in that time, I believe Dean has been the only one to recognize the problem, but didn't have a solution. I know the CSUN Technology Conference has been over for a week. It is possible HW and Benetech are working together on the problem. (Sarah C., and others, are certain the problem isn't with Bookshare and so am I.) I'm wondering if someone from HW would at least let us know someone is trying to deal with the issue and what is happeing. I can't get any books from anywhere! How about it Humanware staff?
