Your connection was surely not broken by the fact that someone deleted that file. While the FTP server has this file open for you to download, it should not disappear from disk. That's how it works on Unices. Once you disconnected, due to some error or otherwise, we can't know whether you ever intend to finish that file, so the FTP server doesn't try to keep it open -- and it naturally gets ulink'ed for good. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
