I've never needed to look elsewhere. One suggestion I'd like to toss in is that you shouldn't run multiple btdownloadcurses instances. The issue is that, while two or three copies isn't bad, four or more starts to eat up a lot of memory and CPU time. As someone who always something on the "bt-burner" downloading, I use btlaunchmanycurses. Put in the .torrent's in question into a staging directory. I call mine "btbatch". Start btlaunchmanycurses with what ever arguements you usually use and the location of btbatch. When a torrent finishes, simply remove the .torrent file and btlaunchmany will remove the download from it's queue. To add more torrents, just copy them into the btbatch directory and they'll be picked up. Mark -- Mark C. Ballew Reno, Nevada [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://markballew.com PGP: 0xB2A33008 AIM: pdx110
