Hello,

I have a second-hand system here (mid-Wales) I'm about to erect now the snow is gone.  It's going on an old cow-shed roof which had 10" of snow on it until Friday.   I might post a report on my efforts.   Today, though,  I was idly wondering what the effect embedded objects have on the download total.

For instance, I always start with video and sound disabled in the browser, since I have a 34k dial up and might not live long enough to view them.  I assume Tooway will not collect these objetcs or streams since the browser will not request them.  But then there's the horrible flash stuff.  Sometimes these have a 'skip' button, which sometimes even works.  But would the object already have been fetched by the modem by the time I stop it?

It is the nature of flash that it is found on the site homepage, and tends to be unavoidable.  I also often have to access technical data sites, where the webmaster seems keen that you should download their entire catalogue before you get a long script and finally an active link.  At the moment I can kill this download as soon as I realise it's not the site I want.  But would that be too late under the Tooway pre-fetch scheme?

Just interested, I realise I'll have to live with whatever happens.

Regards, John
