Oh, I noticed. It's awful when I get corrupted downloads because of zipping
through files with CED (Please, don't misunderstand; I am a VERY happy owner
of CED 2.11)

You can save yourself that happening by lowering the priority of CED to -1 or
something.

Then CED acts like you're computing in glue [even with a 68030]. 

:^(

My only solution to that problem is not to use CED whilst collecting mail or
downloading. Which isn't perfect, by a long stretch. Then again, I do tend to
use CED as a generic file browser instead of merely an editor.
