You are bothered to use a service you pay for?  (If uunet loses money
doing this, they can always add a surcharge.)  Getting a remote
directory on a weekly basis sounds like a job for cron, not a human.
Tell uunet that you want it every week, and let them worry about if
they prefer to do in manually or automaticly.
