 [----------^^^^ you said the above ^^^^-----------]
I get mostly compressed files plus any benefits are enjoyed in a solid 
connect and *not* continuous retrys to maintain a high-speed connection would 
drop in my experience. As in my previous msg. you can change it to produce

best for me on a day-to-day basis. -_-_-Bill
