If this were not possible even a few seconds of burst would help given that most of the files being downloaded from the webserver are only a few k Is something along these lines possible or have i miss understood the documentation -- Will Tatam ------------------------------------------------------------ Email / JID will@netmindz.net Web www.netmindz.net PGP Key www.netmindz.net/will/will_tatam.asc ------------------------------------------------------------ Registered Linux user 294695 Linux Counter http://counter.li.org ------------------------------------------------------------ See http://www.jabber.org/ to find out more about the most advanced cross platform, open source enterprise messaging solution ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
