Wow very nice Jon, now your the rock star. Thank you for putting that together. I wouldn't expect allot of people to be trying to download the files at the same time, but I can't be sure of that.
It was cool to get in on the ground floor of some thing on the PSUBS site. In the site directory it might be good to label it as, CAD Models and Drawings.
The eDrawings files can be viewed in a small free downloadable program that you can get from the link below. Just check off the one for eDrawing viewer only and your good to go.

A interesting thing happened when I clicked on the eDrawings file on the site, instead of right clicking and then clicking save as. It opened inside the PSUBS.org site and worked much like the stand alone eDrawings program. To make it work you have to right click in the model view area and then select what you want to do. The best option is animation views and then click continous play. I'm not sure if these was because I already have eDrawings on my PC, or if it is like that for PC's that con't have to program as well. I would be interested to know. Perhaps Jon pulled a fast one and inbedded eDrawings into the site some how. ; )'
Perhaps you could have another page like that for short PSUB video clips, like the ones on YouTube. That way we can have them all on one place, and in a format that people can save to there archives with out any trouble. The YouTube videos are a bit of a pain to convert to a usable format.
Thanks again,
Brent Hartwig

Ouch...those are large files. It's not disk space that's a problem, it's lots of downloads of large files that chew up bandwidth. But let's give it a shot...check out the web page listed below.Jon-----Original Message-----

The average size of my CAD files is usually between 200 KB to 5 MB. Some large assembly files can be much larger, but we promise to be gentle.

P.S. With regards to this, size does matter. ; )'
