I got to put that command in my savers file.  I have always wondered 
that too.

Any way to know for sure the whole movie is there without playing the 
whole thing?  Sometimes the end of mine gets cut off.  I think one of 
the sites I use has a limit and it cuts off the connection even if it is 
in the middle of the show.  The nerve of people.  lol

Thanks.  You helped two people today.  ;-)
