OK, thanks. Like I said, I'm not computer whiz at all. That's true I think for a lot of us older folks. I understand DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD, and I understand the words "Upload speeds are normally ALOT slower than download speeds." So that explains it. But now I don't understand WHY??? I mean data goes ALOT faster one way than another???? That doesn't make intuitive sense to me, but, like I said, I'm no computer whiz.

And the allowable file attachment is probably WAY less than 320mb.
Hehe, sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. Those are apples and oranges. I merely posted a screen shot of the DOWNLOAD (which was the installation for Baseball Mogul, 103 meg) to show how fast it occurred (a little over 2 min) compared to the UPLOAD (which was the BBPro Music Files at 320 meg). I was comparing speeds, not files.
