I believe this is an important point -- not all servers allow downloads to resume. Most of the browsers I've tried will resume downloads, i.e., Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror. I'm not absolutely sure that gFTP resumes because I couldn't find that on the drop-down menus, but I'm halfway sure I did resume a particularly large download (i.e., 60Mb) using it. I like it because I can copy multiple files from one remote server to another remote server directly. deedee --- Registered Linux User #327485 Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see the WordStar Users Group http://www.wordstar2.com/cbabbage/wordstar ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
