Julian The obvious one, which disrupts my work, is the Date Created. FTP gives me date which is, or is close to, the creation date of the RFC by the RFC Editor. Internet Explorer makes the Date Created the date on which I perform the download, which may be years later and so thoroughly misleading (to me). So standalone FTP every time.
