Jeremy, Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know how many actual hits a Yahoo or eBay or Google get each day? According to http://us.mediametrix.com/data/thetop.jsp Yahoo had about 60 million "unique visitors" in Feb Google had about 10 million eBay was in the middle Unique Visitor is the catch... I could visit Yahoo 5 times a day but I would count as only one unique visitor. I'm trying to determin the number of hits... or request by internet clients for web pages... to get an idea of the bandwidth requirments for very large internet sites. Thanks for any help - tmb --- "Jeremy D.
