- The real question is, why does the server cut off tranmission? I have an
- extremely fast connection and the download was flying along at around 3.5
- Kb/sec, when it cut me off. This happened several times in a row. Also,
- where do we get an LZX unpacker? I've never seen one on aminet, just a few
- front-ends for it.
