We're on a 4-day expire cycle here, and we're up against the wall with disk space. Consequently, some of us peons don't have all that big a disk quota. Unfortunately, we can't afford to wait a week for reposts where large programs are concerned, because by that time, the rest of the parts will have expired. The other alternative -- yanking the existing parts -- ties up disk space and inconveniences other users. -- Theodore A.
