Liam Breck <breck@zonker.ecs.umass.edu> passed on this list of Info-Mac mirror sites, FTP sites that carry more or less the same files as the main Info-Mac site. We recommend that Internet users use these mirror sites instead of the main site because <sumex-aim.stanford.edu> is having trouble handling the massive demand, so much so that it has become difficult for the Info-Mac moderators to manage the archive. If you know of a mirror site not listed here or would like to set up a new mirror site, please send email to <info-mac-request@sumex-aim.stanford.edu>.
Each entry in the list below contains (odd bits explained below):
Internet address Internet number archive directory #/#
contents access methods
organization, city, [state,] country
[notes about the site]
* Internet number
Try using this number if the Internet address doesn't work.
* #/#
The number of updates made to the mirror per number of days.
(1/1 is once a day, 1/14 is once every fourteen days.)
* Contents
ALL -- the site carries all directories in the archive.
RECENT -- the site carries only files added within the past year.
VERY-RECENT -- the site carries only files from the past few months.
