Actually, I didn't. The server cut the connection after 2G. Never had any problem with ftp before, though. So far, I still don't have it. Got a copy from slackware.cs.utah.edu, but it's corrupt. Very frustrating. Archer

News is a 7-bit medium: it's not the client, but the servers. I've transferred binaries before with slrn (u/l and d/l), always encoded with uu or yy to make them conform. Archer

From what you say below, however, I believe you could have read posts is which I followed up widely crossposted abusive rants from a troll in one of the aus.* groups, and that such could indeed have included relgious groups in the headers. > and so, to forestall your argument ("cretins who judge on one post") I > spent (wasted, more like) the lunch break re-reading a selection of > your posts (including the 'Ned Latham' ones) That's my name. > on various other > newsgroups and the pattern is quite clear to see -- you're someone who > enjoys swearing and (verbal) bullying better than reasoned debate. Wrong again. It's clear that your time *was* wasted. Your attempt to forestall my argument was a flop and your analysis is flawed: try reading some of what I was responding to. > it seems you know your stuff when it comes to medieval warfare, shame > you know little or nothing about people, manners, civility. Pity you know nothing about investigation. Or your own prejudices. Archer
