Windows Socket 2 Update
(size: 986kb)

If you have the latest version of WinSock installed, but still have numerous transfer errors, it may help to adjust the maximum simultaneous inbound and outbound transfers within your Napster Preferences.

If you are using a dial-up modem, it is quite possible that you will not be able to download more than one or two songs at a time without getting a "Timed Out" or "Transfer Errors" message. By default, the Napster application sets your maximum simultaneous outbound transfers per user and your maximum simultaneous inbound transfers to three. If you are using a relatively slow modem, lowering these settings to one may improve your transfer performance.
