Because UUCP is the only really working batch file transmission
protocol, at least in the Unix world.  The added overhead isn't
overwhelming, and with Taylor's `i' protocol, you even get
bidirectional transfers.

I'm also using it to get all my mail and news, mostly over direct
modem links, but also over IP whenever i'm currently connected to the
Internet.
