Exactly. It should be done within a couple days and I'll start killing 
groups of files after I've verified that they have been transfered. 
Again I'll note that I suggested and offered to help pay for adding a 
120Gb drive to the server last time I had money. Also I asked several 
times if anyone on the campus network would be able to burn my crap onto 
a dvd-r (which I'd have paid for) and mail it to me. Since neither was 
ever agreed upon everyone will just have to wait for me to finish 
downloading. As I said earlier it took several years to build up this 
much crap so a couple days to remove it shouldn't be a big deal. Also, 
the past few months I've been making an effort not to store new files on 
the MLUG server other than things related to my website so I shouldn't 
be adding to the problem as long as my email doesn't get fscked up again 
(shouldn't, I switched from imap to pop which works better). I even 
switched from using Pine to Mozilla for my mail just so my mail files 
wouldn't be filling up the server.
