 What do you mean by full address? I have http://www. as default F3 and
another hotkey for .com

 Which X?  The black one means stop loading page.  Silver X exits.  On my
setup silver X is colored.  Will have to publish the colored updates
someday.

 Try file:ssh2dos.htm if in root Arachne directory.  Accessing quick
directories such as \download\*.htm and \arachne\*.txt is best done via
configurable Shift-F2 etc hotkeys.

 Sounds like your cache/temp directories are not set correctly.  Should post
arachne.cfg file.

 Just went to Utilities, Cache index and highlighted a file (button 2),
press Delete, file gone. Again something is not set correctly.

 Your connection is speedy sometime.  Have my temp directory on a ramdisk
and if it is not created correctly can generate a load error.  Likely your
problem.  The .cfg file usually displays what is missing.
