Bryan... I agree 100% on the fact that they belong there. However, when you do a search, it ignores the parenthesis. You just need to type in the letter and it will show it. That's all the more reason it should be ignored altogether... it's already ignored in the search function, so why does it look at it in the listing?

My theory on downloading and uploading is that whichever computer you're doing the actual transfer function on is the one who's action is what it should be called. If you're using your home computer to send a file to the empeg, it should be uploading. However, if you're somehow on the empeg and ftp'ing out to your home computer and you bring a file onto the empeg, then that should be called DOWNloading. (I don't know if you can actually download to the empeg using ftp from inside the empeg, but if you can, that's what I'd call it.)
