Dan,
<p>Thanks for the input. I am apparently still having the same problem
this morning. Since you were able to download with reasonable performance
this morning, my assumption has to go back to the idea that I changed something
on my system as part of the installs that is causing the download problem
with www.qp2.com.
<p>Having slept on the issue, I noted that the sites where I was able to
download with successful performance did not use SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
I'll try some downloads from the E-Trade and Louis Navallier sites after
my most recent attempt to download from Quotes Plus which has been sitting
at 40 of 174K for over 3 minutes now.
<p>As to the upgrade to Netscape v4.5, that went like a charm. This
problem with Quotes Plus is the only thing that I have noted as a problem.
This is the first time that I have had any need to use the Netscape Help
System and I would have to rate it as very poor for purposes of Problem
Determination, although it may be adequate for "How to" issues.
<p>Thanks again for the input.
<p>Bob

<p>I recently upgraded to a USR 56K modem and I tested it with MCI.
It connected at 46.7K and I was able to download the 2 weekend files, about
250K and 1.08 MB, in 5 minutes. The download took place at 12:30am
PST Sunday. While the download speed could have been faster, I am
satisfied with the speed.
<p>You may be having problems connecting to the QP2 address. Call
Prodigy and ask them if you need any DNS numbers entered into your MS Dial-up
Networking. I am assuming Prodigy uses the MS-DUN and not their own
proprietary software to connect (as AOL does). BTW: did you
have any trouble upgrading your previous version of Netscape to v4.5?
<p>Daniel.

Is Metastock 6.5 Euro and Y2K compliant?
Does anyone know particulary good sites about TA and especially about
Volume analysis?
