Every link I've tried, from Mudcat and google turns up with an unknown, can't load page report. Anyone know what has happened to this wonderful sheet music index online? Thanks, kat |

By the way, the Levy site has been nicely redesigned. I swear the images are of a higher resolution than they were before, but maybe my memory is deceiving me. -Joe, on a 28.8 dialup connection- |

23 Aug 07 - 11:41 AM (#2132029) Subject: RE: Lester Levy Link not loading right From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Back to normal now too. Joe I just downloaded the cover of a song I'd downloaded before they changed the site and the new file is about 4 times the size of the previous one. Assuming that a) I didn't modify the file after I saved it before and b) my browser is saving the files the same way (should be!) then it suggests they've altered them on the site, maybe to lower compression. The pdf is a nice improvement for downloading the song in one go. Though note - I just downloaded a 3-page song as 3 single jpegs and as a pdf of the whole song. The 3 jpegs totalled about 1Mb, the pdf over 6Mb. So if you're on a slow connection you might prefer to save the individual images. Mick |

23 Aug 07 - 11:56 AM (#2132039) Subject: RE: Lester Levy Link not loading right From: MMario yes, pdf's have always been bloatware. but oddly enough - on my dial-up computer at home I can download pdf's much faster then jpg's. I cannot "load" them into the browser faster - but for whatever reason if I "save target as" a pdf will download in about 1/4 the time of the same size jpg file. On the other hand - the jpg's load into my browser almost 10 times faster. |

But since version 7 they seem to load a lot faster inside the browser (mind you, I still prefer to download large files and open them locally!). Mick |
