First of all, you're way wrong about the cost of inet access, it's not that
high.  Second, I didn't say anything about the mail server going away; just
that those of us with real network connections shouldn't have to stuff
elephants through needle-eyes using bass ackwards technology like mail
servers.  Third, it doesn't need to be Adobe running the FTP site; I'm 
sure they could find someone willing to do it for free.  Fourth, even if it
was Adobe, and the only way to get at the stuff was through FTP, there are
numerous sites running mail servers which will do FTPs for you and mail you
the results.
