I've been trying to figure out why, after an undetermined amount of time, Gui-FTP will suddenly abort a download. I was thinking that it might be a bug in Gui-FTP, until last night when I had a little to drink and strange thinks popped into my head. Such as: sometimes when you're logged into ftp.netnet.net or ftp.luth.se and you're paging through an INDEX file and a message comes up and says TIMEOUT because you haven't sent any commands in a while. This logs you out. I wonder if it isn't the same when downloading a file that takes a while? I recall having read somewhere that that's what the hash function in ftp is for- so the remote host doesn't think you've forgotten about it. If this is the reason my downloads are aborting, does anyone have any ideas as to what to do? I could ftp everything to my account on the university's computer and then to my Amiga, but that wouldn't be any fun at all. Dave Ringkor A3000
