it happens one time a month or so. |

And they aren't 'Free' because the ftp server runs out of disk space once in a |
| 19 |
while (which is the reason for the corruption most of the times, or there was |
| 20 |
a cutted line again, or one of the routing facilities (Göttingen) we depend |
| 21 |
upon, has problems again), but because the ftp-server is part of our |
| 22 |
university network. And everything transfered in the internal network is |
| 23 |
free. |

And that is why digests are a good thing. |
