1) You have to expect that the SMTP/POP3 server will be a lot closer than FTP/WWW sites containing the game (probably on the same network) so no internet packet loss. 2) Undoubtedly less people will be using the server, and those that are will be downloading mucho compressed text rather than already compressed humungous files. Less load on server. Hope that helps your head :) Cheers! John
Check with your service provider first........most have a limit on the size of attachments, otherwise the mail server would become chock-a-block very quickly! -- Bruce ---- "To be or not to be?
