   A very slow download for me, I'd have thought it easier to name them via 
FTP but do what you feel.

   Should be... I think the cure is to test site5's streaming ability by 
uploading the preview vids to fire-serpent.com, changing the links and 
seeing how they work.
   site5-my main host. rackspeed= video host.
   I'm uploading to fire-serpent.com/vids  It is slow, my connection is 
busy on a sat. night.
   Let me know if I missed anything. I took them off the FST CD.

   Based on the spammy email I forwarded, it works... dunno if we have the 
technology.
