4274.1Check your filenameDECWET::DAVISwhatever it was, it ain&#039;t no moreWed Nov 14 1990 12:0710
    IF THE FILENAME IN YOUR 'GET' IS NOT ENTERED EXACTLY(case sensitive) AS 
    SHOWN IN THE DIRECTORY LISTING YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE FILE.  You WILL
    receive the bitftp REPLY but the file with not be mailed.
    
    When you 'GET' large files the server breaks them up into smaller
    hunks.  You will probably get several smaller messages containing a
    UUENCODED portion of the larger file.  Sometimes they come quick, 
    sometime slow.

4274.2Bet the files are on their wayKALI::PLOUFFAhhh... cider!Wed Nov 14 1990 12:3910
    The log indicates that the BITFTP service received the file from the
    ABCFD20 archive.  BITFTP does indeed break files over about 40K bytes
    into several UUENCODEd sections, which it is probably mailing to you
    even as I enter this reply.  You must reassemble the messages in the
    correct order, strip out mail headers and trailers, then decode the
    resulting file.
    
    Just be patient.  As .1 says, sometimes the files come very slowly.

4274.4In time...DWOMV2::CAMPBELLDelaware AmiganWed Nov 14 1990 23:3112
    
    I just did a "get" of TextPlus from ux1, yesterday.  It split
    TextPlus.zoo into five pieces, which I received as separate mail
    messages.  You have to cut everything above the ASCII body and 
    below it.  There is a <CR> at the beginning and at the end of
    the ASCII body (for want of a better term for it).  The mail messages
    that I got said "part 1 of 5", etc.
    
    It definitely takes a variable amount of time, can be a few minutes,
    can be a day.
