The Kermit FTP site is functioning correctly again after reconfiguration of
the Columbia network to avoid a problem with the routers. All FTP sessions and
links should work as before. In addition, you can now also download files
with HTTP by visiting THIS
PAGE.§ NOTE:
If you are still experiencing hung FTP downloads,
please check the IP address that DNS gives for ftp.columbia.edu. It should
be 128.59.29.214. If it is 128.59.48.24, then the DNS change that fixed the
problem has not yet reached you.
§ WARNING:
Since 7 December 2006, offsite mirrors of the Kermit FTP site are
likely to contain partial or corrupt files. Mirror sites should re-do any
FTP downloads that occurred between 7 and 12 December, inclusive.
