history, i too have seen problems with windows' downloads that linux handed
well ON the same computer ON the same connection.... but im veering
dangerously close to OS war talk...sorry.....----Dave L.

There is nothing Windows does to screw up downloaded files, it is a
result of the person doing the download not knowing what they are doing.

I am going to try another cd tonight.  Is there any way I can pull and
image
off the cd and test it.  The only computers I have that have a burners
are
windows using the Adaptec easy CD creator software.  And unless I bring
the
linux computer in to work, it does not have direct access to the web.
