There is cerainly a directory overload! 15 directories, each seems about 5 deep, so 75 in all! At present, it seems each directory has one file in it, but I've not checked all. But I have replaced !Cache.Caches.Default.Netsurf with a zip archive called Netsurf. This appeasrs to work fine, currently it's 492K - with 75 directories in it. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!
