 pa> FILENAME and then I can find it quick in the future. ;P Thats the key.

I was downloading some abandonware (DOS based) from 2oFB a couple o nights ago and it might be 'just me' but I downloaded a batch download with Y-modem batch using mTCP Telnet. The batch worked fine when the files were in the same file base/group, but as soon as the files came from another group, a data error occurred. What was more annoying is that it cleared the entire list of marked downloads, not just the ones that had already been downloaded, so I had to remember what I marked all over again. Is this a bug in Mystic or is this something nuanced to 2oFB? Or do you think it's just mTtelnet?

NB the reason I used Y-Modem (if you are curious), is because mTCP doesn't support Zmodem and I'm (nauturally) using real hardware, so downloading via HTTP isn't an option.

Anyways I thought I'd let you know so you might be interested in testing for yourself.

Cheers!
Al
