I maintain the anonymous FTP site risc.ua.edu and just got this. FYI. -- jf ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear FTP Administrators, As you may be aware, America Online is preparing to make anonymous file transfer available to its members. With well over one million members, there is concern that Internet resources could be strained by the influx of our members. To help address this concern, we are requesting that AOL members limit their FTP traffic to off-peak hours for sites. We would also like to work with administrators to help manage load problems; if your site becomes unusuallburdened by America Online traffic, please contact us at [log in to unmask] and we will work with you on providing a solution (such as providing local mirroring). We are already in the process of working with some administrators to provide mirror access for America Online members, and hope to be able to provide access to these mirrors to Internet users in the near future. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us immediately. Regards, Robert Hirsh America Online, Inc. [log in to unmask]
