BTW.  THANKS, Charles, for the multiple connections per task change.  In 
ordered to make most efficient use of my connections, I used to have to break 
downloading a group into a bunch of small tasks, then reorder them by size, 
so that the larger number of post tasks were done first, so that the maximum 
number of connections were used on the server until as close to the end as 
possible.  Now, I can simply delete the posts I don't want, and then select 
all, and download, as one task.  It is **FAR** less hassle, and I DEFINITELY 
appreciate it.
