hiro:     The purpose of doing this was not to just access multiple parts of the file. I was working off the quote below.  Maybe a file server thats purpose is to mux parts of another file sounded like fun. My thoughts are that you could then transer thoes chunks on a single destination on seperate connections. eg.     % mux -C 3 -F large.file     % tree.           ├── large.file           └── large.file.mux               ├── 1               ├── 2               └── 3 1 directory, 4 files Like I said though still learning though.
