That works but it is 100% manual. Today we have software that will break up files, send the bits and reassemble them and will even let you shut off one of both computers and automatically restart. Torrent is the best known of these. It will just carry one in the background and if more people want the file it will take advantage of the added bandwidth. With magnetic links you can send someone an email and say "click here for the file" and it will "just work". No one has to slip or reassemble the file. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
