Are you a mirror site of papa.indstate.edu? If so, please
let us know! We are constantly striving to keep our mirror site
database up-to-date, but we need your help doing so.
Due to the difficulties some mirrors have encountered in the
last few months trying to get into the site. We have setup a
Mirror Class anonymous FTP login that includes all the
addresses of the Official mirror machines. If you are a mirror and
want your address added to this list please email us.
Would you like to be a mirror site?
We are ALWAYS looking for mirror sites all over the country. At this
writing, the WINSOCK-L file area consumes approximately 4.1 Gigs.
We "grow" about 160Mb per month. If you have a reliable network
connection, ample disk space, and a Unix machine (not necessarily
mandatory), you can become a mirror site.
Mirroring during odd hours like 5-6 am localtime would probably be best,
however we don't enforce any specific mirroring times.
We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts
responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
says so in writing.
If you do go ahead and mirror "WINSOCK-L", We would like to ask a
small favor of you. Would you please send us the FTP site name and path
leading to the mirrored archive so We can add it to the database of
official mirrors of "Winsock-L".
Send this info to beast@winsock-l.com:
