dear ddaley, one thing that helped me get a big file via http last week was to set the timeout, both the default and the http, like this, if memory serves: system/schemes/http/timeout: 9000 system/schemes/default/timeout: 9000 9000 is just a big number. Never tracked down exactly what the units are. the /http/timeout is none by default whatever that means. the /default/timeout is 30 by default. plus, to be a good citizen, you'd probably want to save the original timout values and restore them after you are done with the download. Then I was finally able to read the whole file without Network Timeout. I hope this is relevant to you... galt
