If you use a mail server, always first look for a site near you. 
Mail servers cause a lot more load on the net, and the sending
computer, than FTP.  Mail servers should be the last resort rather
than the first. 

If you use FTP, consider using automated FTP as I have recommended
many times before.  Get batchftp102.tar.Z from the /unix/ts
directory.
