What's the biggest problem of downloading---Speed, the second
biggest---Management after downloading. FlashGet(JetCar) was written for
these two problems. By splitting files into parts and download them(all the
parts) simultaneously, the downloading speed increases from 100% to 500%.
FlashGet is capable of creating unlimited number of categories, each
category has a specified hard drive directory, files placed in categories
will be stored in the specified directory.

If you recieve a warning through e-mail about a 'new virus' you might want
to go to Computer Associates Virus Encyclopedia and see if it is a hoax or if it
is for real. One of our members got a dire warning about a "wobbler' virus
which turned out to be a hoax. Regardless, keep your virus signatures for
your anti-virus program updated. If you don't have an antivirus program you
can get InnoculateIT for free at http://antivirus.cai.com/ .
