But the Win32 client is agonizing. > we are laughing on the outside but crying on the inside hehe. Either that > I or just lost it.... I'm beyond that. I've stopped laughing. I'm waiting for the hurting to stop. All this would not be so bad when the soft wouldn't insist on hanging time and time again. I can understand that the servers are just hopelessly overloaded. Bad planning, happens, not a problem. But I like software that is smart enough to handle these situations without loosing it's mind over choking network. Especially if it a network download system. Just leave it running and go watch a movie. Which won't work if you have to babysit the client because it repeatedly passes out. If you can avoid using it on Win98 at the moment, do so at all cost. Getting off-topic, creeping back into my black, black hole.
