Hi Mark, You're right, I'm spoiled with inexpensive net access. I didn't realize that companies were offering ftp mirror snapshots on CD across the pond because of the high price of connectivity to download files.
I've been working for telecommunication companies for almost the last 10 years, so I forget that telecommunications in other countries is still very expensive in many cases. My apologies... glad we all have a way to get to potato one way or another.
