Mr. Cox, could be right of course. The problem as you (Mr. Carter) described it, could have multiple causes. People have been complaining about IE for years. If that is the problem, I would recommend switching over to the browser known as Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) which has it's own download manager. Also has a separate email client and more. It is very fast. Firefox cannot protect you from transmission anomalies though. You should still investigate improving your transmission bandwidth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
