No, it _can't_ and _doesn't_ improve transfer rates on compressed files. The common misunderstanding about MNP5 is that when you're running MNP5 you are ONLY running MNP5. In fact, you're running MNP5 *upon* another Class of MNP, usually MNP4. >I would run tests before actually disabling MNP5. And tests show that downloading compressed files with MNP4+MNP5 is slower than downloading with MNP4 only. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz, Kl. Drakenburger Str. 24, D-W-3070 Nienburg/Weser
