Dear Onime, Can you please help me. I live in a rural area of Northeastern Thailand. I have a special phone system which can connect to the internet but relatively slowly. I can maintain a connection for only about 8 to 15 minutes. Because of this I cannot download large files. The largest I can ususally download is 30kbytes. Sometimes I can download up to 65kbytes. I have never been able to download 1MB. My baud rate usually shows as 9600 bps. Actually I get much slower than that I think because other people are using the server. Is there any way I can schedule (for example using task scheduler on windows 98) a download for a time when few others are using the server. For example, at 3:00 am. If I was the only one using the server than I would expect to get a full 9600 bps. This would actually give me 576kilobytes per minute. I could download 1 MB in 2 minutes. For instance, I would like to download the following: http://microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/W95ws2setup.exe which is 986 kb To download during the day time would take at least 1 hour. My only other restriction would be the phone system. At 3.00 am I would probably have full use of the interchange as well. If the interchange doesn't hiccup I should be OK. During the day, especially the afternoon, the line can have a lot of static. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.
