Could interactions with the ftp server be kept to a mimimum? To me it seems I get at least two "Listing /fpt@ftphpc....." before the actual article is retreived.? There directory listings often take longer than getting the article. I is it not possible to just get the article file? I did sometimes get this 5.0.15 too, but somehow it seams to have increased in september... Jan P.S. Sorry about me complaining about trees not working. I just didn't understand that they would only be displayed when actually viewing one of the articles. P.P.S. I does anybody have any nice window layout? -- Jan Vroonhof http://www.math.ethz.ch/~vroonhof/ Mathematik, vroonhof@math.ethz.ch HG E16, ETH-Zentrum, Tel: +41-1-6325456/25154 Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zuerich.
