I would agree with Don Gilbert and Dr Kristofferson that pumping
megasize files through the network is not on.  I only use
BITFTP to get much smaller files eg public domain programs or
single sequence files and certainly would *NOT* recommend anyone
to try getting the whole lot by ftp through BITNET or otherwise.
Apologies if I have conveyed the wrong impression.
