You are right. It does take too much time to download. You should be criticizing the web-site, not Arachne. Any web-site that takes too long for any browser to download is poorly designed. Good website design requires that it be compatible with any browser. There are some sites that will download faster with Arachne than with Netscape or with MSIE. So I don't understand your point. I suppose you are trying to insinuate that Netscape is better than Arachne, based only on your experience with finding a particular website taking an extraordinarily long time to download. I could go on and on comparing the advantages/disadvantages of Arachne vs. Netscape, but I don't want to become a party to a flame war. You can do your own thing and I'll do mine.
