> I think there are bugs on CBOE download site.

No, it's more like pathetic web design. To download the entire options chain for AMZN it sends your computer over 600k of data and bloated HTML, for roughly 4 screenfulls of text. Their code is unbelievable sloppy. If they actually knew what the hell they were doing they could easily fit it into 7 or 8k. But they dont, so their site is almost useless unless you're lucky enough to have ISDN or some other higher speed net connection.

Frank, That is exactly what happens to me, usually. I think it is because AMZN has more contracts than the S&P's. -g- And either you have to download the entire option chain or one contract at a time. I get tired of re-booting my machine every time I go over there, so I'm kind of gun shy to even try anymore.

Regards, IS
