Download Times

The estimated time cited below is the slowest time for downloading pages at 56kps. This excludes the time for dowloading banner headings and navigation files. These were all downloaded with the first page that you viewed. Note that as the site is image intensive, some pages are rather large.

To make your viewing as congenial as possible the site has made use of the QuickServ downloader to download files and images in the background. This is not effective across the board as the site contains over 400 pages and 2000 images, including thumbnails, animations, etc. Only a limited number can be downloaded at any one time.

To make the most effective use of your time you can follow the Next sequencing button at the foot of each page. This page plus any other linked pages listed in the text will be downloaded in sequence. Using these links will speed up your viewing process.

However, the QuickServ downloader cannot always be of use to you if there are many hyperlinks within the text. And it may not be of any use if you work through the Menu Page. Such choices are unpredictable. If you make such choices please be patient as images download.
