The wire into the cloud is now *smoking*, of course, possibly because A1
didn't mention mirror sites for netcat:

        zippy.telcom.arizona.edu:/pub/mirrors/avian.org/hacks/nc100.tgz
        ftp.sterling.com:/mirrors/avian.org/src/hacks/nc100.tgz
        coast.cs.purdue.edu:/pub/tools/unix/netcat/nc100.tgz
and possibly
        gw.rge.com:/pub/security/coast/tools/unix/netcat/nc100.tgz

At least I *think* that's the current picture, not having actually rechecked
them lately.  YMMV but you'll definitely get your copy faster if you hit one
of these.

A new version of netcat is in the works; mostly unchanged from 1.00 except
for some tiny bugfixes.  It'll include a better bunch of companion programs.
