Here's something else I've discovered. With the dinosaur downloading a file, I would start another file downloading on the linux box. When that file stopped, everything stopped including the download on the dinosaur. When the download on the linux box resumed, so did the one on the dinosaur. Later I shut down the dinosaur, started ktorrent and had it downloading a couple of files. I tried another download from one of the sites I've been having trouble with. When the download with firefox stopped, the transfers ktorrent was handling stopped also.

Thanks

Derek
