With this one, Mozilla is now behaving like Galeon, i.e, it stops downloading after a while (1.5 Mb) but at least it didn't lock the machine up. Just to throw in some more information: when downloading from a web site in localhost or other host in my home network, Mozilla does everything right. No matter the file size (I have tried up to 80 Mb downloads). The problem appears when downloading from the Internet, which I connect to through a Windows XP Pro machine set up to run ICS and hooked to a 256 kbps ADSL connection. I going to read on the lilo directions you gave me to find out what I did. I like the expression "dumb-fingers" but I don't like using it on myself :-( Stephen, I really appreciate your time on this issue. Buena suerte a ti y tu familia. Adolfo
