i have no control over what is listening at the other end other than i sign on. i can limit the FTP software to fewer connections and i may end up having to do that just to see if it makes any difference. i do not have a very fast connection, but it has worked fine up to this point. > It does depend *exactly* what files you are transferring. some text files (most very small) and a bunch of picture files, most of them about 1-5M each. not all of them need to be uploaded at each refresh - the FTP software is smart enough to figure out which files have changed. songbird
