hello all,
i just got DSL and i was wondering why i can't connect to most of the fast ftp servers especially momo's and another one that has a ton of stuff 1993 which is what i'm looking for. It seems like the password for all these sites is incorrect, am i wrong for using the login: fast and password: antsmarching like what it says. Any help would be appreciated since i would like to get downloading. Does this have anything to do with settting a firewall or anything related to that? Thanks for your time

if your ftp program is giving you a message like this:
COMMAND:> USER fast
331 User fast okay, need password.
COMMAND:> PASS ********
421 Sorry, momo.antsmarching.org already has 2 users logged in as the username fast.
ERROR:> Password not accepted
ERROR:> Can't login. Still trying...
then the password not accepted is b/c the server is full. most ftp servers are full during peak hours, so that is probably why you can't connect to most of them.

ahhh yesssss. As i am not a newbie to this, the short term memory is not what it used to be, i forgot that if the server is full it won't let you get in, haha, what a dumb ass i am, i just haven't used an ftp client in over 2 years, thanks for the info guys.
