Si, it is me. I just lost access to Spriggsy and don't have my email and password anymore. I used a temporary email lol. Same for Balderdash.

Ah! that sucks, I keep a spiral notebook, so old fashioned of me I know. LOL
Which is worse passwords or whole hard drives? No old fashioned methods for that, I think.

Nah, I use an email forwarding service for basically every website. Each website has a different email address for me. I just lost access to the first two for here. Keeps spam and stuff minimized since it allows me to disable forwards at will. Also maintains privacy since it doesn't attach my main personal email account to my name as much as it used to.

For even greater accuracy, you can Dim x as Double, remove Round, if x = 1 becomes if x >= 1, and replace Timer with Timer(.001).
Also for some weird reason, every 2 GB interval, LOF(outfile) returns a negative number, but using a mathematical equations fixes it... kinda a weird QB64 issue.
So to fix that for example, line 53 becomes Select Case LOF(outfile) + 0
doesn't make sense to me, but it works. I'm curious.... What version of QB64 are you using? 32 bit? 64 bit? Linux? Windows?
I tried out those changes you mentioned and saw nothing different at all on my output. Not a single thing was different. I even tried KiloManjaro's suggestions.
Oops. I forgot to take off ROUND before sending that post. It looks like it does pull through at around double the rate, which is odd. LOF(outfile) should handle up to 9 GB, at least. But I didn't think about the fact that at 9GB, it would overflow anyways. So, as KiloManjaro suggested, I've stored the result in an _INTEGER64 variable:

Huh. Actually kind of glad y'all brought back this post. Made me realize I had another bug in here as well. Now I should be able to unescape URLs a lot better:

Your code always amazes me. Works perfectly, thank you for the toolbox addition.
