Hi Martin, Sandy

Many thanks for your replies.

Sandy: Thanks for doing the profiling. Out of interest, what was the  
spec of the machine you did the profiling on?

I can live with the performance I'm getting and I'm glad to learn  
that the performance isn't down to a mistake on my part. I guess HTTP  
was never meant for transferring large files anyway.

Best regards

C
