thanks very much! all seems to make sense. One other question, how literal is the upload monitoring? for example, I've watched some people download files and it would appear they give up way before reaching 100% but it shows up as a completed download in the x/y column. Are some of the files going through faster than indicated - are some files listed as fully downloaded when only part of it was downloaded. Just curious? I'd like to believe all these people are completely downloading my files but it just seems unlikely., So if it's listed in the x/y column as x, that means someone definitely downloaded that file? (as opposed to y which lists attempts or aborted downloads I believe) THANKS
