The ReadTCP{maxlen} function you are using is a bit old....the actual
library call requires a memory address which it then fills with the data
it's received, the old ReadTCP{} functions then try to turn that memory into
a string by going through it byte-by-byte...and eats up a lot of CPU in the
process. An easier way to is to make a slightly different function that
doesn't try to convert it into a string, and then just dump that area of
memory out to the file with a ReadMem (I think).
Oh, and your carrage returns you are sending the server should be
Chr$(13)+Chr$(10) otherwise you might find it'll refuse to work on some
servers.
