Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I still have dial-up. Can you believe that?
Both zone 11 and zone 17 were tried, but both failed to
come up after 3 minutes, and the status bar froze about
half way.
I will try this again later. It would be really nice to have
full coverage, especially for states like FL that are
pretty hard to find. I know there is topozone as a last
resort, but I prefer actual DRG downloads if possible.
