we have the code to do that still, but its not currently necessary. at one point aol was requiring a hash of a given chunck of a given file. when that didn't work, they switched to asking for invalid chunks (beyond the end of the file for instance, or a 0 byte chunck). then they gave up and currently aren't even asking for that. we kept the code around in the client just in case they turn it back on. luke gaim support > > Michael Poole > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
