Hi2all, time for me to have a little grumble......
OK, I wanted to download SS 1.7 upgrade.... 150+Meg..... Started the download over night... and it bombed.... Why...... I had recently installed the TCPIP FixPak... and it changed my TMP pointer back to C:\TCPIP\TEMP... and guess what I only had 100M free on C:...... so chalk that up to a totally incompetant Mickeysoft style kludge by IBM..... To IBM... leave my config.sys alone....or at least respect my changes.... Then there is the really clever and profoundly thought out Mozilla mechanism to ask where I want the file stored... and then proceed to create a temp download in the temp directory.... OK, I can see where on dialup, and where a user takes 2 hours to decide where to save the file, the download can be speeded up by commencing the download to a temp file....sheesh... But guys seriously... why not check drive space.... Why not create a tmp file in the destination location, if you just have to have one... it took minutes to copy the temp file over to the location at the end of the download, instead of just rename.... Why bother trying to save time this way.. its' takes a lot of downloads to make up the time lost due to problems like this.... This has been discussed before, and nothing really seems to be happening.... To say I'm not impressed is somewhat of an understatement.... regards, -- Britt [EMAIL PROTECTED] eCs + SMP OS/2 v4.51 check it out: http://www.ecomstation.com
