Burner verification problems? That doesn't have anything to do with your
connection speed or file integrity. A download at 2 K/sec is just as
reliable (provided it finishes) as at 600 K/sec since they both use error
checking protocols.

You may want to do some trouble shooting on your CD burner. I'm assuming
you're using Toast 4.x or 5.x and SCSI (since it's pre-B&W G3/iMac) (or else
you've got a Firewire/USB PCI card and are using a FireWire or USB CD-RW...
if that's the case you should be running 9.1 (it is probably the best OS
version for pre-G3s, especially for FireWire and USB)). A corrupt file would
_not_ prevent a CD from verifying.

PS You don't need MRJ to run either Explorer or Outlook Express (unless you
actually want to run Java applets).
