Jeff,
That's what NODUPD-D does. It is an attempt to relieve traffic by
using DISTRIBUTE to send out the non-custom files that we all need
each month. Steve Howes at BYU is in charge of it, and has AFD'ed one
peer to both VERSyymm NODUPD and BITNET LINKS. There are six peers
for the list, and each then DISTRIBUTEs the data files to its handfull
of SUBSCRIBErs. If you feel there are other files that should be sent
this way, contact Steve.
