Okay, I'll experiment with it. Question for Charles [or anyone]: how does Pan allocate the jobs between servers; and can the mechanism be specified by the user? Example: I would want the bulk of downloads to come from any servers which don't charge by usage (usually my own ISP) and any backup fills from the more expensive servers. This strikes me as a non-trivial task. I wonder how the Windows-based downloaders solve this problem (I don't use Windows so I've never tried them.)

I hate light text on dark background because I can never read it -- and suspect it's because I'm red-green color-blind. Maybe you are too? Thanks for the great summary! I will definitely be following along with the latest updates from Charles from now on. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
