Howard,

Thanks for the explanation. I am fairly certain that it is not a problem =
at my ISP. I think you are correct in that it is a problem at the =
download site. Also I didn't realize that Mozilla was the cause of the =
initial high speed that finally falls to the 20-30KB/Sec after I make up =
my mind. I use Mozilla. Anyway, there is nothing I can do about it.=20

I was downloading some Open Source stuff from a site in France the other =
day which was excruciatingly slow. I was told on the user forum that =
since I was hitting the French network from the US that I was contending =
with a deliberate slowdown because of some turf wars among major =
providers on the continent and it was a money thing. Possible?

I appreciate your response.

Vic
