I would like to remind everybody that many sites (particularly overseas
as I am) cannot access the archives.  This makes obtaining these files
near impossible.

I am certain that for many sources and binaries, the worldwide network
could handle the bandwidth of an initial posting.  I hold no respect for
those people who whine every time a large article is posted, they remind
me of those laboratory administrators who like their lovely equipment
unsullied by actual use.  The net is there, let's use it!
