I wouldn't have thought it did any damage because these programs have fairly
good fault checking as they are downloading. Also I dont think windows would have actually altered the setting if the file was being written to as it was being downloaded. If that makes sense. This is just my opinoin but see what others think but I think your ok. Glen P "RJK" wrote in message ...
