Hi Wash
Am I missing something here. The 2 rules mean totally different. One compares if
the message is greater than which means you scan ones that are greater than. The
other means less than. Ok interms of efficiency I guess the two will execute at the
same speed and none would occupy more resources Given that the file size is normaly
predetermined before downloading.
