The ONLY thing Kermit has going for it is the fact that it is implemented on a large number of machines. Personally I prefer spending 10 minutes downloading and 1 minute CHOPing to spending 20 minutes downloading. THE best protocol may not have been implemented yet, as all I have seen have a few snags to catch you. One thing is certain though, any protocol that doesn't approach the maximum theoretical transfer rate to within a few percent is NOT a contender for being called evn good, let alone best.
