The original question was sharply focused
on SSC and SJ.
But the original intent of -net-, which underlies
all Stata-based internet transfers of software, was
to facilitate downloads from wherever they are.
As Stas indicates, SSC and SJ are far from the only
outlets whereby user-programmers can make their

Stas. Those who like total independence can
still operate and advertise exactly as desired!
Also, anyone could write an analogue of -ssc-
to ease transfers from their site.
