Hi Beverly, On dial up? Try this. Download a copy Jet It@ here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/jetit.html . Jet It! is a download manager for Mac that will resume transfer/ download where it left off it you happen to get disconnected. I'm on DSL and use the program as it seems to get better download speeds.
Let us know how it goes, ----- Patrick Berg Cell: 760-420-6053 Fax: 515-583-6314 Webmaster: Skyvalley website: http://skyvalley.angelcities.com "Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous?
