Foolestroupe, if the files were on Mudcat's system, that would NOT help. Background on YOUR computer isn't background at the other end. It STILL uses the bandwidth found at the Mudcat and reduce the available bandwidth for others to utilize.

I agree with the proponents to free up as much of Mudcat's own bandwidth for the DT and Forum access.

If we link to the member's own page where they have the MP3 or even more than one, it would make much more efficient use of the Internet's capability. Rather than tie up the Mudcat systems, it would make it much easier for all to access whatever they wish.
