How about doing some sort of compression on the files, like zipping them or
something?  They're awfully large.  And I have a 2400 baud dial-in to the 
net, so that sort of plays havoc with my wanting large files.  Last time
I tried downloading the moments.au and waited forever for it.  When it finished
I tried to convert it to a macintosh playable format.  Well, It took an hour
to do that, and when it finished, it didn't work.  Then, I lost the .au file
like the idiot I am sometimes.  Well, when someone posted that they had a mac
version on ftp.apple.com, I jumped at it, only to see the huge file size and
say, no thanks.  So, if someone's going to re-post the files, could you run
some compression on them?  
Thanks.
