OK, but I was talking about how I personally download files. Which is to right click the URL, select "copy link location", then paste the URL into an rxvt window after typing "wget ". If you guys could get *that* to work, without any Javascript getting in the way, or splitfile dialogs, I'd be an *extremely* happy little Freeneter! :) (But I don't expect that to happen.) Of course that doesn't work right now -- you have to wade through a fairly clumsy interface and press a second button just to *start* the splitfile download -- and that button isn't visible unless you scroll the top frame downward! -- and then you *still* have to deal with the web browser's dialogs. So right now, from my point of view, the interface is about as bad as it could possibly be, except if you added mandatory Javascript to it. (Not that you'd do that.) Anyway... is there a point to this? Probably not. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ |
