Where to get the stuff

You'll have to use NcFTP at least once, to download either of Gui-FTP or Mftp from any of the Aminet mirror sites. In general, UK users should stick to the Imperial College mirror (src.doc.ic.ac.uk) for a couple of reasons.

Firstly - it's the closest and netiquette dictates that you use it to minimise network traffic. Secondly (and let's face it - more importantly), the original wuarchive site is nearly always too busy to allow access. The addresses and paths you need are:

This is actually probably true, so you might want to check it out - yet another Amiga web browser called Juggler is under development in Portugal of all places. Check out its home page at:
