i think the point is that no one is downloading them from any BBSes... the
chances of there being any MAC users downloading it from a BBS are extremely
low... if/when anyone wants this one, they are going to the same place you are
and getting it themselves... hatching such huge files that no one is
downloading from any BBSes is a huge waste of bandwidth...

heck, even with my own good sized file base, i find it much easier and faster
to use FF to search google for a file i'm after and download it... yes, my
system comes up in those results but only for the files i already have... not
the new versions... i can search, download and install as fast or faster than i
can find them in my own filebase...
