Wow thank you so much that will probably do it. That is so awesome! I haven't done anything with the NSFileHandle yet so I didn't know about it and it's methods. What do you recommend for the values of CHUNK_SIZE and HEADER_LENGTH?

Also in reference to me not being here for a while I have been very busy making tons of apps for the app store with various companies. I am also involved with the creation of highly developed new tutorial website that will be ready soon. Also busy finishing high school =P.
