We are actively looking for mirrors for this material.  If you have 
trouble accessing these sites from your location because of network 
delays, and regularly use a closer site for other ftp needs, you may 
want to ask the system administrators at that site to mirror the 
Geek Gadgets tree.  We will be happy to assist in setting up mirrors.

Subdirectories in the Geek Gadgets ftp tree are:

  YYMMDD        Snapshot releases of Geek Gadgets.  Typically you will
                only want the latest one.

  alpha         Random things that haven't yet made it into Geek Gadgets
                or highly experimental releases of things that are
                currently being investigated for inclusion in Geek
                Gadgets.

  current       This is a symbolic link to the latest snapshot directory.
                You can always access the latest snapshot via this link
                instead of the specific version number (YYMMDD).

  lists         Gzip compressed copies of the Geek Gadgets mailing list
                archives.

  updates       Diff files and some binary and/or source archives for
                things that have changed since the latest snapshot.
                Use cautiously, since they may be relatively untested.

5.1 CD-R

For the convenience of those that are unable to acquire the full Geek Gadgets via ftp, because of limited internet access bandwidth or cost considerations, a CD-R disk containing this material is available from Cronus. See the Cronus web site http://www.ninemoons.com for additional information or to place an order via the web. You can also send email to info@ninemoons.com for details.

5.2 Geek Gadgets CD

Every three month a Geek Gadgets snapshot is regularly mastered on a CD and distributed under the label 'Geek Gadgets CD No. X' (where X is an increasing Number). This CD is set up to ease usage and should be more stable too than the intermediate development releases (see section 3.2 Snapshot). Ask your local dealer about it.

Sales of the Geek Gadgets CD help to support further development and a large portion of the proceeds are made available as incentives for developers to work on specific projects. CD subscriptions are available at reduced cost.

Geek Gadgets is a dynamic entity, being worked on simultaneously by a number of different people all over the world. As such, it is subject to constant revision and improvement. The Geek Gadgets CD attempts to capture a stable snapshot at periodic intervals and make it available to people who otherwise would have no easy access to this material.

5.3 Aminet

At last you may obtain a snapshot from full Aminet mirrors (Aminet/dev/ade); these is, in contradiction to most other files on Aminet, almost always an older version and the distribution is somewhat incomplete, although you may get everything to actually use Geek Gadgets from there. Please be careful to not intermix with the files in Aminet/dev/gcc, which are considered obsolete. See section 5.4 Previous Port.
