Maybe you Americans with your information highway get better ftp transfer rates but here we have miserable ftp rates during the business hours since everyone is clicking around in web browsers. I wonder if anyone tried to amend ftp/ftpd in a way that it gets the 'rest of the file' if a file of the same name exists and the checksum up to the local bytecount matches the remote file. In that case the transfer could resume and append to the existing local file. Any comments? --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
