I get 1.1 MB/sec on the lower tier cable internet but I can also having Linux
either get the file to play locally with wget or capture in in another manner
for play later.

With Linux yes, wget -c http://the_links_I_sent_you

Doesn't Windows have provisions for snagging files in a similar manner?
Perhaps just copying those URL's I sent into the URL window of your browser
will invoke such a transfer?

Should that fail it'll wind up in cache somewhere, in Linux, as a randomly
numbered 
ever growing in size file so you can identify it and copy.
Firefox must do this in Windows as well as it's cross platform.

Didn't take me long at all to download it however for BIG files 
like the 6+ Gig Linux Slackware-13.0-install-dvd.iso 32 bit - 64 bit file I
just 
invoke wget -c http://file_name_as_above from a Slackware mirror site
than to sleep I go waking up to find it.

Any of the "live" Linux bootable CD's like Knoppix and Ubuntu
ought to be able
to deal with it but I'm unsure aboput saving the file to a Windows formated
drive
or partition as the last time I did that I'd both Linux and Windows
installed thus using Linux's mcopy.

If you'd care to try a allegedly easy to use Linux on one of your partitions
you might try www.raccomputers link PhoenixOS for desktop or laptop but you'd
need
a DVD writer and BIOS capable of booting to it as they stand at 1.4 and 1.2 Gig

respectively.
Another overnight while sleeping job methinks.

I've forgotten everything I ever knew about Windows and necver knew anything 
from after Win 98 when abandoned for Linux.

Oh yeah and that PhoenixOS Linux linked at Phoenixos at www.raccomputers.com,
it's got a built in Windows application easy loader described at that links
location as well as the links to download either.
I've zero experience with it but I've seen that shops demo in action and it's
rather incredible!

I HAVE to run slackware here due this being a 1998 IBM Aptiva and not
nearly as resource hungry as Phoenix or Ubuntu would be on this box.

Next month, 2.7 GHz AMD dual core 64 Brisbane CPU on a motherboard I
ordered just an hour ago :-)
