Why don't you just IM (instant message) your niece before starting a big download. You could work out the details for this by talking it over with her. And as Dan already pointed out, is this really a problem or are you just making work for yourself? I've never noticed any problems with surfing while also downloading. What sort of Internet bandwidth is your ISP giving you. (Hint: google around for the Internet sites which let you test your upload/download bandwidth). -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
