By the Way. For those people interested there is a new Beta version of Opera (8.02) with BitTorrent built in. Download here http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/u802p1-links.html (get the version at the top of the list for Mandrake) I have tried it, it works well. Just click on a torrent and the target file will be downloaded just like any other file. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
