Thus, we can upload to MC just fine, and those of you who use TIP access to MC or your favorite host can download - but not through a TAC. This condition has been confirmed with two different TACs. I have informed the NCC and we are working the problem and hope to have the exact problem area pinpointed in the next day or so, and fixed shortly thereafter. I'll let you know when that happens. --Frank
