Thanks,would it matter if he has a dialup modem[phone line].
Probably. The Sebring fie is 33 mb and plays as a 'streaming file' ie - it plays in real time when you click the link.
When you view the streaming file, it copies itself to your 'temporary internet files' folder. You can then copy it out of there to 'my documents' or similar.
If the author of the video file is agreeable, I can upload the entire file to a site where it can be downloaded back to John and Gregs hard drives.
