PE> You presumably have heard of zmodem crash-recovery.

BL> Yair... I have, Have you? Zmodem crash is usually set on date at
BL> the receiver end, so that if the file has the same date but a
BL> different size, it picks up where it left off. On the next day, it
BL> assumes the file has been updated and renames it, if it has the same
BL> name. Otherwise, every time I downloaded your FILES file, it would
BL> just get added on the end of the one I've already got.

The FILES file CHANGES DATE every day.  Try downloading a static file, e.g.
TBK033.ZIP on different days and see whether crash recovery works.

PE> TML's purpose is not the distribution of 6 meg files.

BL> Fair enough... so why let us upload 6 meg? I'm not criticising your
BL> policy, just the lack of logic in it.

There is no configuration option to control that.  In actual fact, you
could upload a file for 48 hours and I can't stop you, until the disk space
runs out.  I would assume that the uploader has the intelligence to
understand that uploading a 6 meg file to a system that advertises a
10-minute limit IN THE BLOODY SYSTEM NAME EVEN, is a pointless exercise. 
BFN.  Paul.
