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.
