Is what you have described below your version of video games, I thought
you had useful things to do? If I want to DL a file--including the one
you used as an example--I just drag the link to the DT and go on to
something else. I don't haul out a CMD to edit and run. You spend
longer clipping the link than my whole operation.

Don't you love My-toys-are-better-than-your-toys games? 8-)
