Sounds good. :)  Who's 'we'? (wishing I did Java programming ... )

It wasn't a case of transparency as much as one of 'prettiness'.  With a JAVA
applet one could more easily show the user the status of the download and/or
acutally display the download itself.  Not sure about that one; I'd love to
have a little applet showing me the progress on my splitfile download with the
standard pause/resume/retry options on it (and change HTL), but its not worth
fretting over ...
