*grin* that's about it. He missed Chris discussing with us all the changes so only people who have an account can download code, and why he was doing it, and now has I think painted himself into a corner. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

A spider is a program that crawls through the web and grabs what it wants. In this case, imagine a program that iterates through all of CP, and downloads all the pages and all the zips. Imagine what a few of those do to the bandwidth bill for CP and then you'll know why it's been limited to people who are logged in.

excuse my ignorance... but cant that be detected??? I mean a single log-in downloading more than one or two 'files'??

Yes it can, which is why Chris is enforcing logins only for downloading. Right now, they do it without loggin in.

personally... I should think that is a good thing. But I've never found myself standing in the popular light, nonetheless... I dont want to see anything happen to this site... its been good so far and I can only forsee it getting better as the user's of it take the time time to give a s&*% - pardon me --------------------------------------------- The greenest grass is NOT on the other side of the fence, its the grass you take care of.
