Maybe our site >is no longer receiving them? You are in the wrong newsgroup. The upload announcements are posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d. SIMTEL20 *is* up. If you can't connect to it, complain to your system administrator. There have been some routing problems on the Internet which SIMTEL20 has no control over.

It is much more efficient, and besides saves your own nerves. ...................................................................

Being able to set up things to run at, say, 3 am and have the files waiting next morning makes accessing the archives on SIMTEL20 *so* much easier. Those working with unix might check out either BATCHFTP or AUTOFTP. Both of these are available from SIMTEL20 in directory pd1:<misc.unix> -- files batchftp102.tar-z and autoftp30.tar-z. I'd imagine they're available from other sites as well.
