I wonder if this sort of advice (that `anonymous FTP is not as good') is
outdated -- I think it's very rare for a developer to have email, but not
some sort of net-connectivity (at least http access).
I suppose it's often rather inconvenient to arrange for a file to be
accessible from the outside world, if you're behind a firewall or something,
but it's also quite simple to just say `I have the file, and can send it to
anyone who asks.'
Perhaps it should also be a bit more explicit about how big is too big to
send directly.

Maybe the info file should explicitly mention the possibility that it is so.
[actually, bug-binutils is forwarded to the general GNU bug list,
bug-gnu-utils, which is quite widely read, I believe.]
Does anyone have any thoughts about this (am I the only one using a slow
modem link)?
