Hi:
I have done NLS downloads both ways, and don't see much of a difference in
the time it takes to complete them. A lot depends on the size of the book,
site traffic and signal strength. My personal preference is to download
directly to the Braille Plus because of the convenience. I can keep track
of progress where ever I am without having to go back to the computer.
Since separating myself from my device would most likely involve surgical
removal <grin>, direct download makes perfect sense for my needs.

Hi Kathy:
I have not tried downloading directly onto the device, as it took 45 minutes
on the PC. I don't know how long it'll take on there. I've also wondered
about the flood ...
Good luck!

Hi all! This is my first attempt at responding to a message using my br
plus.
Question: I am downloading four files from nls, and for the past half hour
or so, status has been saying "waiting for host, downlading friend files 65
complete." Do you think we're blowing out NLS'S websid? hhahaha! Or is
there something else I can do short of closing my browser which I can't seem
to do and start again.
Peace
Kathy
