Hi
I have been unable to down load the above mp3 from Napster any ideas why? Message reads transfer error !
I'm giving a try now but I don't expect any problems. There is no reason why a particular song would cause transfer errors. I have had some trouble with some songs over the past few days. They just sit there with the "Getting info" message. Most likely it is Napster's servers.

Yeah, transfer errors are usually an error because the other person decided you were taking to long and cut the connection.
Make sure you sort by connection speed, and then go with the higher speeds. Or better yet, use the advanced search fields and choose atleast T1. I just did a search for that song and found two offering that file with a T1. Also a lower ping time should help as well. But if you have a standard dialup service it is going to take awhile no matter what you do.

hi sue
we'll stop monkeying and back to your question!!!
now, the time it takes to download a song depends on your modem and the connection speed. best choose a git with a smaller ping, say below 300. i usually abort if the transfer rate on my DUN is less than 4kB/sec.with 4 or more kB/s a song takes about 10-15 mins on DUN. hope that helps. manoj
