Thanks for the responses. Just a query on V7 are there any reported problems with it, as I am a firm believer in the old adage, "if it aint broke, don't fix it", and V4 is working ok for me. Having said that, the problem I am having with IDM is apparently attributed to Eset, so maybe the problem will disappear with an installation of V7. Apparently, at least according to reviews it is a bit of a system hog, not sure what you guys think of it in this regard. I suppose I can install it and if it all goes pear shaped, revert back to what I am using now. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed..
