Michael, Just a comment. I have my websites on my computer and only upload new material. It seems like you are reinventing the wheel to download the whole site? Just my thought on that. Christina | The Carlow website has got to a stage where its too big to handle | as one website. There is more than 2500 pages (not including | images) and of course its growing daily. It now takes anything from | 10 minutes on a good night to 30 minutes on a bad night, to | download from the server so that I can up load new material.
