Without fully understanding the intent of your question, I assume you realize that 10000 kbytes is 10 megs of data per file?

As a consequence of careless reading, I first played with the filesize based on the premise that the units were bytes. File changes 
do not take place rapidly when the data pipe is only a 56K dialup.... ;-)
