Yes, the limit is one of time, not of number of bytes transmitted. |

My earlier connection stayed open for 32 s & got 819 K ; |
| 12 |
one of the other repliers -- thanks to all -- got 38 s & the whole file. |

So 2 conclusions for me : (1) yes, servers do impose time-slices ; |
| 15 |
(2) my basic problem remains the very low bandwidth I'm getting, |
| 16 |
which I have to take up with my ISP once I've clarified other aspects. |
