Re: Is all this stuff officially known?
The ones that DO allow open external access to their FTP, are being true to the old concepts of the internet - everybody contributes, and you use local resources to ease the load on stretched links. Mind you, at the start, demon had less international (and quite likely local) link capacity than one broadband user today.


There would be nothing to stop NTL having a "users only" FTP, but then it would need a lot of user education to be of much use - the internet now seems to be dominated by WWW and P2P, though I'd enjoy a decent freeware collection FTP to dig around in.
