[OPLINTECH] Websense/Proxy/Downloading

[Ed Liddle]

I did find this on the web sense knowledge base website.
http://kb.websense.com/al/12/1/article.asp?aid=1051&n=3&tab=search&bt=4n&r=0.6554942&s=1&searchstring=file
 Its about how to block file type downloads using precise bandwidth
controls. It looks like it pertains to web sense surf control. I hope
this helps.
