Status: offline 		I tried GetRight. It crashed my netscape several times at first but picked up the download very nicely each time once I rebooted and relogged onto the download page. I found that when I bookmarked the download page, GetRight could not pick up from there. I had to register again each time. Sorry Matrix, that's where all those invalid registrations came from. ------------------ An old soldier but not yet a faded one.

Status: offline 		"Try to bookmarks the three download links when at the download page." Well that is what I did and I could not connect after rebooting. Has anyone been successful in connecting directly to the download page via a bookmark without registering first? ------------------ An old soldier but not yet a faded one.

I'm using GoZilla, someone here recommended it. I started downloading the night of the 8th, but have had to interupt it numerous times. (teen age daughter at home so tying up the phone line for very long isnt accepatable behaivor for the dad). I'm still only at 29%, although I think I'll to run it all night tonight. But I only had to register once. For subsequent connects, I've just clicked on the partial file icon, and it finds the point it needs to satt at and chugs away. Works pretty slick. Rick
