Yes, this is usually because Furthur is generating some MD5's. Furthur uses MD5's to make sure that you completed the download, and I am pretty sure that it uses MD5's to group filesets together on different hosts. When you complete a download, Furthur will generate MD5's for each file in the set, and then share it under those MD5's. So, when it has to generate MD5's for 500 megs worth of a show, that will definately peg your processor for a few minutes. I'll offer a WOB since this isn't really on topic, a few B+P's of anything on my list in shn format: http://db.etree.org/towelrod -Mike _______________________________________________ etree.org etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree
