Ali, >>>Clearly, your mind about "CPU intensive" examples was too quick. For your education, the bulk downloading is probably the LEAST CPU-intensive process on a PC, at least TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE slower than a CPU is capable of.<<< Actually, I'm extremely flattered. You normally don't respond to people with an IQ of less than 140. I may be stretching it a bit, but you don't know the query that I've made to extract the part of this huge database and the DBMS(and I'm saying I designed the database) that I'm using and you may be making assumptions that may not be valid. Even if I'm not able to make the query that monopolizes the CPU for long periods of time, I'm sure that you can. Regards, Mary
