Yeah, I suspected it was this. The last time I downloaded anything (sometime last year I
believe) it still worked with ftp (which did kinda surprise me). Back in the early '90s
when I managed an AIX architecture department one of the security guys working for me told
me this:

security * useability is a constant

I keep getting reminded of this on a daily basis anymore! :(

Thanks for the info,
Bob
