OK, I don't exactely know what you are referring to, but when I download
stuff from the net I:
-first I download the stuff to my server.The server of my ISP is on a T3
so the download does not take that much. 
-second I download the stuff to my computer.I use my modem to the max
(115200 bps with maximum compression).And I use Zmodem protocol so if
there is an error at 9.9 megs I try a second time and it will start from
9.9 and continue.
So I see no difference (but a bother to download many small files)
between the two...
