If you are referring to the past behaviour that the size would be used as a tie-breaker if multiple documents matched and had equivalent quality, it is NOT a hack -- it is designed and intended behaviour. And if you think the list has concluded multiple times that that is worthless, I think you are indulging your revisionism gene because you personally don't like it. My recollection is quite different. If the admin doesn't like that the smallest file is being sent, he needs to adjust his quality values. Or we introduce a means of disabling this network-friendly heuristic; I'm not opposed to that. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "All right everyone!
