Live with it.  Everyone else wants the binaries.  There is no 
alt.binaries.games.command-n-conq that i know of.  Life's a bitch, eh?

heh .. interesting

1) nowadays people ONLY use windows slip/ppp, long gone are the good ol' 
days of unix systems and T3 connections.  They're the ones who always 
complain when someone posts a file that takes more than 10 seconds to 
download.

2) people refuse to learn how to use apps.  A good news reader for slip
people would have an option like "don't download if file is bigger than X
kilobytes."  Look around .. I'm sure there's one out there that does.

3) 1000 line uuencoded message .. hmm uuencode only puts like 60 chars on
a line .. that's 60k (roughly).  At 14.4k it'll take about 1 minute to
download.  Aaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhh!  One whole minute .. no!  the universe
will explode by then!  Or double that.  same basically. Windows is supposed
to do multitasking anyway, go play solitaire or somethin :). 

4) If you think this C&C group is too much to download, go subscribe to 
some misc.forsale.* or Rush Limbaugh groups.

Moral of the story:  Put up, shut up, or get a better connection.

Nope, I'm on a T3, as is MDW...  While I can see posting a new update ONCE 
when it is released, then just a pointer to the site everytime after that.  
Not a mass flood of binaries to the group.

Thats not the point...

Point is, this isn't a binaries group.  Thus binaries really don't belong 
here.  Its not so much the time to download as if the group starts getting too 
large, servers that ban binaries will start blocking this group as well so 
that the people under that service can't access it because of something 
someone else did that has a super-fast connection.

Or if they want binaries go to alt.binaries*

>Moral of the story:  Put up, shut up, or get a better connection.

Moral of the story:  Don't post binaries.  Post pointers to binaries.  Put up, 
shut up, and learn how usenet works...

OOOhhh, flames!  I love it!
Why don't you get some better software yourself?  There is a little
program called NetScape (You have heard of it, no?).  Point this
little jewel at the following URL:  
http://wellness.uwsp.edu/authors/gheeres/c&c/index.shmtl
Then all these binaries you have such a boner for will be yours for
the picking.  This is called using your brain.  Try not to hurt
yourself...

No, no, no...  you have it all wrong.  Since this is not a binary
newsgroup, YOU should deal with it not being here, and yes, life can
be a real bitch at times.  And EVERYONE else?  Really?  When was this
poll taken?

I don't want them... how about posting to alt.binaries.games and
putting a pointer to it here? Or FTP, email, HTTP, BBSes, DCC (IRC),
or thru Kali Chat.
