I don't know if this is something I can do anything about, but I have noticed in more than one distrubution of Linux, including Mandrake 7.0 that when it gets, perhaps, overtaxed by too many things open or too many things happening at once, rather than freezing itself up, it just makes the offending applications go away. For example, if I click too many links too fast in Netscape, rather than freezing everything up like Winbloze used to do, Netscape will just close spontaneously. The same with some other apps. Maybe that's preferable, but when one is in the middle of a large download, it's a pain to start it all over. In that vein, is there anything that will save and resume a download in Linux? Is there any kind of keep alive program that will emulate activity to circumvent the ISP's inactive time limits while downloading? Just some questions. It may have more to do with the fact that I get excited about sixteen or more virtual workspaces and I get things going in a lot of them. Thanks! Don J. Do good stuff!
