- Sorry for butting in here, but I've been wondering for some time about
- this Internet Movie Database. I know that I can download megs and megs
- of data and diff-files from Aminet, but my 14400 bps connection makes
- this strategy close to useless. It also seems like a strange way of
- distributing database information throughout the Internet. I mean,
- nobody wants to see /all/ the information, so it really is a waste of
- time and bandwidth to distribute it all to all users.
-
- So my question is: Is it possible to download just the database
- "browser", or whatever it's called, and then use it to access the
- database somewhere on the Net?
