I'm having problems using the anon ftp server on apple.com, and would like to know if anyone else is having the same problems. Symptoms: I can connect/log on without any problems, cd anywhere within reason, all with a correct throughput and/or delay, but as soon as I try to download anything, the first few Ko just dribble in slower and slower until the transfer stops dead in it's tracks 5-20 later. When I last tried a few months ago, All was fine and I was able to succesfully download the 4 main disks to sys 6.0.5. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is it possibly my own fault? How else can I get at the disk images? (CS, AO, etc, being U.S. based are unavailable to me here in France) I seem to recall the existance of a BITNET ftp-> mail server somewhere, but threw the info into the wastbasket because I thought that anon ftp would be sufficient to my needs. Anyone?
