Ummm, how about the fact that Sun Lamp is very rarely, if ever,
reachable via FTP; as a practical matter... sun-lamp is HEAVILY
used and has very low limits on ftp and other services. While
it's nice to have stuff on sun-lamp, it will be almost impossible
for anybody to actually retrieve binaries via ftp from sun-lamp. At
least ftp.eunet.ch isn't ALWAYS busy... Even the mirrors might
have a touch time getting in.
