   ANSITerm has a 16K buffer, so downloads will stream 16K and then
write to disk.  Uploads, of course, implement full-streaming if the
other side can handle it, which greatly increases throughput.  When I
put in the full-streaming, uploads on Delphi (an online service through
a packet-switcher) rose by 100 cps, astounding, considering the
previous cps was around 570!

   As an update, I followed someone's suggestion and added an additional
26 global macros (giving 52 in all) accessible through an Option-Shift
keystroke.  'Course, thats why I posted the release while still in beta
test; so I could still incorporate suggestions!
