Can anyone help me with the name of another ftp server?  I have been using
BITFTP for several months because I don't have ftp access to the net.  Today
I received the following reply to a request for a file:


>>  19:01:46 > FTP ux1.cso.uiuc.edu UUENCODE
>>  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Are there any other servers out there that I can use?  This is probably
going to affect a lot of people onthe net who don't have ftp access.
