I simply reformatted the thumb drive as ext3, and everything worked great. But I'd expect Jim's downloads to die at 4GB, not 474MB. Even with the plethora of problems that MS Windows has, that's still very odd. I've never seen downloads consistently die at that number. Could it be that MS Windows boxes are attempting to download the file in pieces, i. e. a "0.5GB" part, followed by the rest of the 4GB? Sort of like a built-in (but apparently broken) UNIX "split" functionality? --TP <div class="moz-signature"> _______________________________ Do you <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a>? <a href="http://www.cmosnetworks.com">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> </body> </html>
