I lile using a client and I also enjoy the web interface. The web interface does not support a batch queue, does it? With a client, I can queue as many files as I want to and walk away to let them download. I think for a web batch queue, you would need to create a download manager for Synchronet. Seeing as FTP Clients already exist that can do this, creating a proprietary manager would be a waste. Thats thje beauty of options and thats all I am trying to say. With options, we can both disagree and both do things as we both prefer to do them and agreeing isn't required. It's simply individual choice. -- .---------------------------------------------------------------. | [TiME WaRRiOR] aka [Dave Kelso] AIM: Twar782 | +o Malkavia BBS | | www : synchsupport.net - malkaviabbs.com - xpresit.net | | www$: josephsjewelersonline.com - preferedinsurance.com | | @: time.warrior@malkaviabbs. com | \______________________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.12a-Win32 NewsLink 1.76 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com --- Synchronet 3.13a-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
