[Dtb-talk] downloading books from RFBandD

[Burke, Dan (DSS)]

 Hi Sarah,

NLS books seem to download a little faster for me than do the RFBD
books.  On our University network -- which is admittedly overtaxed this
first week of school -- it took 20 to 30 minutes yesterday to get a
large, very large, introductory anthropology book.

The other factor that slowed it down was that I have only 1 GB of ram in
my computer, so couldn't have more than one file downloaded at time
without crashing my Download Manager.

When you download and install the Download Manager, two folders are
created in your "My Documents" folder.

	RFBD Downloads

	RFBD Media Files

The actual books are found in the RFBD Media Files folder, and all you
have to do is copy them over to the Stream.

Have fun!
