If I remember correctly, my FTP went down a couple of times during dselect. I got the connection back relativly quickly, but sometimes with a new address. I don't think the FTP part of dselect will continue in the middle of a file transfer, but dselect as a whole will pick up on incomplete files and finish them off. You might have to exit and rerun dselect, however. Take this with a grain of salt, as my link has been pretty stable lately. >> -- >> TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
