- If nobody posts things anymore there is no choice doing it different.
- I believe there are people joining this group having no direct FTP.
- For Megabyte of sources or binaries like GNU tools under Linux or such,
- it's the only way.
- Low activity on comp.os.minix, so some source postings wouldn't hurt.

- The second point is, if you' ve got the source you HAVE it.
- If you have to take care to get it you will lose control soon.
