is if we start allocating more blocks at a time, lets say 2-4 blocks each time. Wouldn't that help?

Heh heh heh Somebody should tell that to the guy who's pulling them down 500 at a time. I have to settle for 32 x 7 at a time, in order to manage runtime at 9 hours. And the clever thing is, I have to stay connected to all 7 machines in order to keep running. Good thing there's an incremental notice, so I can restart if I lose carrier. You know, this is really fun. Too bad the prize isn't something really cool, like a free wastebasket in case Windoze 95 comes my way... Sorry, just felt like it was my turn to babble... Don
