If people don't realise that their data is traversing half the internet to get to their desk, they'll be running "find /www/ftp.freebsd.org -name somepackage.tgz -print" on a dayly (hourly?) basis, saying "Oh, never mind it takes a while, I'll just come back in the morning for the results.". At least with standard ftp they'll do the traversing by hand and after a while they'll even learn to download ls-lR's and read them before even logging in. Groetjes, Kees Jan
