   I posted a piece a week or so ago about the time it took a file to appear in my   
   Download folder when I clicked on a link in a page AND that only 2 d'loads   
   appeared to work at once.   
      I had one suggestion about this - but it wasnt the answer.   
      
   The problem turned out to be - and this may apply to other browsers and   
   versions   
   - is the Download manager had 3.8Mby of files stored in its RDL file - I looked   
   through the down load manager list and stuff had been stored in there - related   
   to my download activity - ever since the browser was installed - probably   
   getting on for a year ago!   
      I suspect Netscape Communicator 4.8 does not have this d'load list feature   
   and hence its d'load and writing to disk always works very quickly.   
      Since deleting that RDL file in my profile area - NN7.2 now behaves the same   
   way - something to look out for if things start slowing up - as they have done   
   with my browser over the last few months!!   
      
   Cheers   
   all
