Until recently, I have had no problems connecting with simtel20. As of last week or so, I just can not get though. If I do manage to make connection it take minutes for each message/reply (Im talking about simple command like ls, I cant even get far enough to try transfering files). Obviously, something is going on with the net.(This problem happenes regaurdless of when I try, so It is not just a busy problem). Anybody have any idea what is happening.

Does anyone know why Simtel20 is no longer allowing FTP access to the server? Thanks in advance.

I suspect you ran into the limit imposed by the system on the number of simultaneous anonymous logins, or maybe a net problem. If you try to connect when too many other anonymous users are present there is an explicit error message to that effect. If you get timeouts or 'no response' messages then you've probably got net trouble. I was able to get into the SIMTEL20 system by anonymous login an hour or so ago, which is later than your posting.
