I am in the middle of transfering over to RedHat, so cant get to see what 
files are being created.

But I use PAN to save the file parts as it downloads, and use PAR-archive & 
RAR to process the file parts into a single file in the VCD groups.

I will have a look at the news group and get back to you.

If can be of any use feel free to email me @ address@hidden
