Hi Dierk Haasis, Thursday, October 14, 2004 you put on your sharpest glasses and informed me -us-:

Since I was recipient that time, I could not have any influence on that. I personally do compress by RAR. In earlier versions of TB it was implemented in the process of splitting, at least that's what I guess. The attachments in fact were all *.rar files -so I think TB is a smart one ;-) Now, a couple of weeks ago, I see no attachment at all. Seems to be empty, and TB freezes. Yesterday I found out, that it is not necessarily a TB-problem alone. Just for the thrill of it I reinstalled my V 2.04 and had the same crash. But I know id did work weeks ago. Maybe the upgrading to Win XP SP2 has something to do with it; heard of a feature that now allows Windows to remember the "downloaded nature" of a file that came from the Web and may therefor be a potential threat. You can read a lot of things about what SP2 does with windows, so maybe I am not completely wrong. But after last night I will not blame TB for the flaw alone anymore. > Of course, TB's built-in solution would smooth the work-flow a bit, > nonetheless TB still does not compress, which means you still send out > 70 MB instead of perhaps only 25 MB. The files I send are compressed and stored as one file, sent by TB in pieces and hopefully reassembled on the recipient's side. > My compressor of choice: www.squeez.com.

I think I will take a look at it, thank you for your effort! -- greetings Charlene Ferrara mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :star: ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
