Those updater programs are really annoying. Quicktime 4 does it, but
with that I found that after downloading everything, before it installs
you search you hard disk for a 7 meg file, and that is the downloaded
data. Next time you need to install QT4, you just run the installer
program in the same dir as the quicktime data cache.

Sorry I havent answered you question, I was just having a small rant :)

Oh yeh, the leased line are good. I am at uni, so any file more than a
few meg get done in 20 secs, and brought home on my zip drive :) And
costs nothing!
