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...
