I don't mind trying to learn how to download these multipart postings,
but I need to understand them.. I not passing judgment on J3. It
seems that I have to download, in the case I raised, 270Meg minimum,
to see what has been posted. And 5G download to see them all. Will
you pls answer one question?

Is there any way to preview these postings without a full download?

If the answer is no, then with my already stretched 12G per month
limit, I will simply have to avoid these images, which I am sure I
would otherwise enjoy. From what I know, ISPs are far more expensive
where I live in Aust.

Thanks for the help.

Doug, you're kinda screwed. But if you'll tell me what really melts
your butter I'll try to get some to you (e.g. spacewalks, launches,
cockpit
views, group shots, diagrams, recoveries, etc.)

I'll post a few index/thumbs in the next few days. I'll have to give it a
few days 'cause the knuckleheads will be screaming about it, regardless
how
much I scrunch them down. I'll of course pare them down in number. When
you shrink 'em down you can't tell if it's Columbia or Christmas taking
off. As I've said before, the Mercury stuff is *my* porn, but I have all
of J3's shots. When does your monthly limit refresh/restart?

And I'm such a "get-along" kinda guy, I won't even Y-Encode 'em. ;-)

That's a kind post Lee! Mercury is also my sweet spot. But I am also
extremely interested in hires of the space station. In fact I dreamed about
it last night. Index/thumbs would be wonderful and fully appreciated.

My refresh has just happened (15th of each month) but because of my other
needs and other users on this limit, I can probably only afford a max of 1G
per month, if that.

I know many people are upset with J3, but in my case all I am interested in
is how I can best get access to some of his great postings. When he used to
post individual jpgs in two parts, the images often took my breath away

Many thanks
Doug
