[DeTomaso] Help needed: Mike Drew can't seem to read thePanteraarticles I've sent on disk

Sun Dec 12 13:40:03 EST 2010

Good idea, my brother and I use 'Rapidshare' all the time to send large files back and forth between the UK and US. As Charlie says there are usuually file size, download speed and other limits on the 'free' accounts.
