Gee Gary, what a nice thoughtful message… I won't bother to point out that if you had ever thought to READ THE DOCUMENTATION or ASK PRACTICALLY *ANYONE* HERE, you would have found out that CIS does indeed tell you EXACTLY how large the file is in bytes. Any one with any telecommunicating savvy can calculate estimated download time from that number, as well as the download charges. If you couldn't handle that, there is even a help file in the DLs explaining how to do it. Pity you never bothered to ask or read anything on the subject… Interesting also to find out that somehow Whap! has bloated in size to 14 gigabytes in size… 111,000 XModem blocks, you say? I'm surprised you waited around for the 1.37 days it took you to download that much information. Of course it SHOULD have fit on your drive; if you had 100,000 blocks free on an Amiga disk, that's about 51 gigabytes… must be nice to have a big hard drive like that. Learn to use the terminology if you're going to use it, Gary. Getting stuck in infinite loops in the Libraries, are you? Funny how no one else has that problem… It's always a delight to get insightful messages like "H&R Block stink!!!", Gary. Enjoy GEnie. I hope they enjoy you as well. Have a nice life. Rick
