I don't know what the problem is, since several European sites have managed
to FTP the entire netCDF distribution successfully since it was announced.
Our FTP logs show that since 1 March, sites in the UK, Italy, France,
Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Russia have all
downloaded the complete FTP distribution.  The address I have for the UK
download is address@hidden, in case you want to try contact him for a copy.

I have also posted a note to the netcdfgroup mailing list asking for a
European site to volunteer to be a mirror site for our software.  If I get
any volunteers, I'll let you know.
