Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it.... The TEMP subdirectory is used as a temporary store for files while they are being downloaded as discrete blocks, as a place for assembling these blocks as they come in. The reason I say this is that (a) when I have the TEMP subdirectory on the HDD and I download large files, I can hear the drive being accessed periodically as the new blocks are written to the file; BUT (b) when the TEMP subdirectory is on the RAMdrive, I don't hear any disk access as the large files are downloaded. The CACHE is used to store files that have been used in the past, so that they don't need to be downloaded again. CACHE2TEMP seems to mean that the cached files are to be stored in the TEMP subdirectory. But this would be *after* they have been downloaded. This would have nothing to do with files that were being assembled, during the process of downloading them. . ,-./\ from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia . / \ "Queen City of The South" 34:55 S 138:36 E . \_,-*_/ . v homepage http://users.tpg.com.au/gmone/index.htm Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Web Browser/Suite for DOS and Linux --
