• Users should respond to the PASSWORD prompt with their Email address, so if that site chooses, it can track the level of FTP usage. If your Email address causes an error, enter GUEST for the next PASSWORD prompt.

• When possible limit downloads, especially large downloads (1 Meg+), for after normal business hours locally and for the remote ftp host; preferably late in the evening.

• Adhere to time restrictions as requested by archive sites. Think in terms of the current time at the site that's being visited, not of local time.

• Copy downloaded files to your personal computer hard drive or disks to remain within disk quota.

• When possible, inquiries to Archie should be in mail form.

• It's the user's responsibility when downloading programs, to check for copyright or licensing agreements. If the program is beneficial to your use, pay any authors registration fee. If there is any doubt, don't copy it; there have been many occasions on which copyrighted software has found its way into ftp archives. Support for any downloaded programs should be requested from the originator of the application. Remove unwanted programs from your systems.
