Hey Birdy, thanx 4 the reply. Looks like I have all the green bars lit up and available. What is a good file size for video? Thanks for directing me to the bitzi sticky, good info. I believe the modem I am using is internal, because everything is inside my tower and came that way when I bought it.

I do have an ethernet box for my Qwst DSL that I use to get connected, but I don't think that is a modem, or my problem. I am going to be changing my isp soon though, cuz I am aprox 85% slower than nation avarage qwst user right now! I think that has alot to do with what is going on cuz there are certain times when downloads are prolific and lightening fast to dwnld! Other times I get nottin and 1kb or slower or nothin at all. Who knew my desire to acquire music and stuff would lead to a better techi-ness in puters, huh? I don't mind cuz it is fun. Thanks for your repy ~J
