I think everyones kind of lost the plot over this one. If you abandon
fetch/ie/netscrape and use a real mans command line FTP client you will
see a
conversation something like this :

[dpeverley@burton dpeverley]$ ftp ftp.akaipro.co.jp
Connected to ftp.akaipro.co.jp.

I hope this should make sense even to the non-technical among you :-)

Logical hypothesis : They've been hit by many sample starved Akai heads
and
found their bandwidth lacking and are upgrading to cope?

BTW, I managed to pull down the MPC kits and put them on my MPC2000.
Very
nice. I've only had it a few days, and they're certainly the nicest kits
I've
played with so far!
