Re: sndptford and dvd vs xmit

For the sndptford sf99530 cume I did get msg it was "mailed".

So the cume I think I'm good, for the groups, I don't know what I'm getting.
Too busy right now to call service.

I have yet another "new" experience with getting ptf's from Fix Central.
Ordered the most recent CUME for v5r3; at the prompt where media type is
stipulated, I checked off CD.  You're required to also check off the FTP

option. So, I figure it's so big; I'll be getting a CD shipment. Boy, was

I wrong.  Eight image files on the FTP site; they were whoppers!  And the
fun begins when hours/days later you find out one or more of the files are
corrupted (when verifying the image catalog).  I had to place the order
twice; 48 hours ain't enough time to snag those puppies.

I figure the next time I want a CUME, I'll go the SNDPTFORD route, but after

what I've read I'm not so sure!

I've never seen it work that way, but have seen a few postings in the last
few weeks that mention something similar.  I've always gotten the message
that the PTF or group wasn't available electronically.  I've never seen a
setting for this other than the one within the Fix Central web page.

I did a sndptford with link type *any, and ordered several groups.
Was expecting a dvd shipment, as it did the last time I ordered
same groups, and for the cume I had ordered earlier today.
It started downloading a 196 meg file (over fractional T1),
about 25 minutes. Would never have run during production time if
I knew it would choose to download. Where can I control what an
acceptable download size is, or is that in IBM's control?
