News (usenet) is easier to access for dummies.
And a binaries newsgroup doesn't rule out a fileserver...
I think binary-newsgroups are cool. I have experienced little trouble with
them, and the *broken file* concept doesn't occur that often, especially
when the files are relatively small -which is often the case with MSX-. And
it requires little maintenance, only a few enthousiastic emulator people.
And I think there are lots of those (and it might make MSX emulation more
popular). And ofcourse it's a prestige thing. If the c64 has a binaries
newsgroup...
However I don't know about the possibilities to set it up. How is it done???
