Oops!   We didn't think of that.

My initial reaction is to continue with the ftp approach, but also supply 
the .zip and .tar.gz files on the http server.  I'll have to think about 
that a bit, and maybe talk it over with the other moderators.

[While at first glance such things seem like no-brainers, there are several 
issues.  We have a bandwidth cap on our current web host.  The automated 
file uploads (regardless of whether I use ftp or scp, and whether they are 
going to SourceForge or the commercial host site) seem to fail a lot.  Big 
pain in the you-know-where.  I do an automated download of the SourceForge 
backup every morning, and that never fails.  Use a Python script.... 
Hum...]

You are welcome!  And thanks for the problem report.
