If you have WWW access, downloading Arachne by http is actually less of a
download than receiving by e-mail.  Uuencode or base64 multiplies file size
by 4/3, as 4 bytes encoded take the place of 3 bytes original.  I've been
successful downloading Arachne with DOS Lynx386.

Thanks to L.D. Best for tips on escaping the endless download.  I wonder what,
if anything, was really being downloaded.

On accessing Usenet through Google, might Arachne also be able to access Usenet
through MailAndNews (http://MailAndNews.com , requires registration)?
