Since when does asking a simple question become whining? Being rude to someone who asks a simple question does not answer the question. Rudeness can sometimes be accounted for if the responder is uncomfotable either because s/he does not know the answer or someone finds the question uncomfortable. I am not the only one who uses ftp manually -- if there is a reasonable immutable reason for keeping it at 15 seconds or less, then is the time to stop asking. In the meantime I not feel there is any justification for rudeness or aggression. The question is why 15 seconds for one machine and a minute for another? The second question is there a sound reason for not changing the machine set at 15 seconds => 45 seconds? -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
