Because of the need to agree to the licensing and export controls, its
not available on an ftp side. Wget(linux) and GetRight(windows) both seem
able to get the thing incrementally, especially since I fixed my bug.

the new license says:
3.6 You must include all of the original copyright, labels or other
notices on the Licensed Software on any copies of the Licensed
Software which You make ...
it would be nice if Lucent would clarify whether the HTML machinery on
plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/download.html that induces downloaders to
check a box and activate an "I agree" button before they can download is
one of the "notices" that Licensees must include in any copies they
"make".
if so, then Plan 9 code cannot be distributed via anonymous ftp or the
new napster/gnutella/freenet distribution methods.

Sounds reasonable. There's also the need to go to the Web site to
generate the boot disk. You could then issue a password for
non-anonymous ftp, but I'm downloading from
http://www.getright.com/get.html at this very moment.

Plan9 includes cryptographic software and therefore distribution is limited
by US government export regulations.
