Al is correct; a simple back of the calculator reckoning will reveal
that the most that can be transferred in one day (assuming an average of
200cps on a 2400 baud connection) is approximately 16.5MB.
Hawkmoon.mn.org takes only a partial feed and yet has averaged 15.9MB
per day for the past 271 logged days (since June-91).

I think that this is beyond the scope of a 2400 baud modem.  I think
that Mr. Johnson should settle for a partial feed...
