You can use "ftpmail". I don't know whether cdrom.com provides a service like this, but you can also use the ftpmailer at dec.com. To receive the files for gimp, just send email to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com with the following lines in the message body: reply n9ogk@juno.com connect ftp.freebsd.org binary uuencode chunksize 100000 chdir /pub/FreeBSD get distfiles/gimp-0.99.9.tar.gz get distfiles/gimp-data-0.99.9.tar.gz get ports-current/graphics/gimp-devel.tar quit It will then mail you the requested files in chunks of 100 Kb each. Unfortunately 100 Kb is the maximum chunk size. If you prefer precompiled binaries for 3.0-current, tell it to get packages-current/All/gimp-0.99.9.tgz instead. To receive more information about the ftpmailer, just send the word "help" in the message body. Hope this helps.
