I have been accusing IBM of wrong-doing with M$ many times, but this one
is far from the truth. I am browsing successfully the site using good old
Netscape Communicator 4.76/Win & 4.78/AIX, Konqueror/Linux, etc.
Sometimes even such a mighty site can get overloaded. I still remember
(eons ago) the limit of 200 simultaneous ftp users on it.
Another issue with many FTP sites might be that "Enable folder view for
FTP sites" setting of Internet Exploder.

David,

It is my experience that this occurs only when you attempt to download
via web browser that is other than IE!  Strangely, IBM is only Microsoft
friendly.  Try IE or an FTP client.
