There are no illegal mirror sites, at least not presently.
What is illegal is when a CDROM manufacturer / distributor makes a CDROM
from an ftp site that has Kermit software on it and sells it or
distributes it in any other way without the permission of the Kermit
software copyright holder.
We don't have the resources to police ftp mirror sites, so you're on your
own as to finding one that will provide you with up-to-date, complete
versions of the software. If you have problems with Kermit software that
you obtain from a mirror site, don't ask us about it because we don't know
what you got and we don't have the time to research it.
There is no reason why you should not be able to reach
kermit.columbia.edu; we play host to thousands of ftps every day. There
are no session limits or any other artificial restrictions. Ask your
local network administration what the problem is.
