Downloading ARDI stuff with slow connection



Hi,
    I have a slow connection for downloading as well, but what I do is get
the download starting then set it up to download while i'm away from the
system.

    I have a UNIX account.   To download when you're not logged in:-

		1) log into system as normal
		2) start ftp as normal
		3) once it has started downloading press CTRL and Z
		4) It will say 'Stopped'
		5) Now type bg
		6) repeat the above for each file.
		7) Once you have finished, log out.

    The files you asked it to download will be downloaded while you are
logged out, you can come back later that day and they will be there in full.

    Hope this helps. 

    I will be away for just over 1 week in case you want to ask anything.  If
you mail me, then i will reply as soon as i can.

		hugh
