Still don't have the burner running.
Started this download from the guy (one of my many Daves) at about ten last night. Woke up in the middle of the night (ten till four) and saw that it was about 90% done and still chugging merrily away.
Woke up at five-twenty-seven to notice that oooooops, the download had been terminated -- somebody had disconnected. It said that it was Dave's fault, but -- checking, trying to send a message -- it seemed that it was my AIM that had logged me off.
I fumed.
Fortunately, this thing resumes downloads, if it's the same filename, from the same source.
We'll see how this works.
