WRONG!!!
You can only request a gif file, if it doesn�t exceed 15KB.. and believe
me, it�s hard to create
a gif-animation with 128x128 pictures and more than 2 pictures within
which is smaller than 15KB.
I can try to get a log of the errormessage kannel spits out...

My problem is not HOW to download, but HOW to get around the size limit
of Kannel...
Regardless wether it is smaf *.mmf.. or a midlet *.jar (ok *.jad to
download).. If the size exceeds
a certain limit, all i get is an error from the gateway. And i think it
should be possible to set this size limit
to 50kb ourdays. But maybe the WML spec forbids something like that, i�m
no expert.
