I never got those changes made across Delphi versions 4-6 concerning 64-bit stream support :( I know that there is a class in turbopower's tpipro, unit IPSTRMS.PAS, but as far as I recall 64-bit issues were not handled. Also I recall that Primoz Gabrijelcic (http://gp.17slon.com/index.htm) had a huge stream class, but I can't find it at the moment at his site (by the way, it was too huge for implementing it 1 to 1 into ICS). > The FTP server is crying out for a file buffer system, so that > regularly downloaded files stay in memory.
