Thanks so much!  I'll prob try / use both methods, DL and streaming.  I appreciate the quick tip, way faster that what I've found.

You can go to one of two places: 

http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html  - this contains a list of services that you can pull from the national map (maintained by the USGS). 

To me the http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ is a little more straight forward plus you don't have to worry about loss of internet. 

This may help: http://www.northrivergeographic.com/qgiswms

Thanks so much for the any quick tips - I'm still searching, but am bogging down in a bit in the jargon.
