Thanks for the help Gamin. I've been reading some posts and have noticed that lots of people are having the same problem as I. I'm using php 4.1.2 which came with redhat 7.3. I think that there was a bug in 4.1.2 regarding fopen() and unusually long delays with HTTP files. I may try and compile and install 4.2.3 and see if this resolves my problems.
Your suggestions may not be suited for what I need to do as I think that writing to the disk would cause more overhead than I could live. Although it sounds very interesting.
