You are right Ben, My website just went up to 41megs, but right now the
problem is not being able to connect. I have noticed though that I have had
to connect several times to finish an upload. So that's another problem I
need to tackle. Thanks for your advice I'll be breaking it down. Wish I had
known about this before, sure would have made things a lot easier. Thanks Ben.
