Some forces at work right there...

On edit: file sizes...they're a bit on the stiff side, I'm afraid ;-)

1. This is strange, while downloading the links it displays the...

...message "Buffering: nn% complete". Howver the download is taking a long time (I have high speed cable modem) and it will sayu 28% complete, then flashes 24%, then 30%, then 26%, etc. What is going on?

5. maybe due to variations in 'internet traffic.'

Maybe lots of downloads are causing slowing of the connection.

6. I had a similar problem trying to D/L with RoadRunner.

Must be a lot of traffic trying to D/L the same .wmv at the same time from the same server. My msg box said it would take 8 minutes to D/L so I said the Hell with it.

...happened after the wave come up to the building? I'm loading the 2nd link now.
