        If possible, can CS 1.2 be made available for download via http
        in addition to (or instead of) ftp?

        The reason is that, from behind my company's firewall, it seems
        that idle connections time-out. This seems to have the nasty
        effect that long fto download never complete because the ftp
        control channel times out...at least this is my current theory
        as to why long fto downloads don't work. Downloading via
        httpd, however, ahs no such problem becuase http has no "out of
        band" control channel.

        So, if CS 1.2 were made available via http also, that would be
        good. Thanks.

        - Paul
