Well, I finally got around to reading www.linksys.com, I did a search on
my router, and found that I have version 4 of the router, and the latest
firmware (1.45.3, 7/1/03) upgrade for it said that it fixes unstable http
and ftp downloads. So I downloaded it and it worked. Everything's
working fine. Thanks for the info.
