Rep Power: 0 | just in case his download gets frozen or quits on accident I guess it would be nice to have a partial of it. Who knows. Maybe he is trying to download 20gb files and he keeps crashing at 19.9gb  |

Rep Power: 0 | I just want something that can pause if the computer crashes or I want to restart it or turn it off or something. Don't have 56k thankfully. The multiple connection thing doesn't seem to speed it up ever! I don't remember it helping much with a modem either actually... DAP is working nicely |
