Don't forget there are THREE different options for distributing files on
demand:

 1. Mail based archive server (MBAS)

 2. Anonymous FTP

 3. Anonymous UUCP

These are not mutually exclusive!  A properly configured site can offer
all of them, or any subset.

The big argument for anonymous FTP over MBAS is that it relieves
intermediate sites of the burden of routing and carrying all that
traffic.  But the problem is that it leaves UUCP-only sites out in the
cold.  Well, that's where anonymous UUCP comes in.

I ain't gonna be the one to do it, but it would be a big blessing if
someone who administers a big archive site would promulgate a document
telling how to set up a dual FTP-UUCP archive.
