I have tried both ways now. Sometimes, when I'm lucky, I get in, and I am able
to get a directory listing. Then cap.connx.com closes the connection. And
sometimes I get "Your session time-limit has expiered [sic]. Goodbye.". And I
have tried from 4 different machines on different networks etc. I really don't
have these kinds of problems with any other FTP sites, so I think Dann's site is
setup in an unorthodox manner.

I need the 2400.pgn 2550.pgn ... 2600u.pgn etc. files. Can someone who _can_
connect, get them for me? I would be really glad. Alternatively, you could point
me to another place that has these files, and also other places that have other
huge files good for automatic book creation.
