If you have any problems with archie, send mail to ccw@archie.au
ANNOUNCING ARCHIE.AU - The AARNet Archie Server
Archie.au is The AARNet Archie Working Group's archie server. It runs
"archie", a tool to help users locate information located on anonymous
FTP sites around the world. To get started with archie, telnet to
archie.au and login with userid archie.
Archie.AU also maintains copies (shadows) of many of the most popular
anonymous ftp sites from around the world, making it unnecessary for
users within Australia to access the remotely located system, improving
response time and reducing overall network traffic.
This system, which has been funded by AARNet, will not only run the
archie database, but will also support:
+ Prospero (a remote file system)
+ Ftp[-]Mail Gateway
+ Sydney Uni's Finger Daemon
+ MHSnet access (as archie.oz)
+ WAIS
and is shadowing the following archives:
+ Simtel-20 PC archives From oak.oakland.edu
+ Garbo's PC archives From garbo.uwasa.fi
+ MIT's X11 Distribution From export.lcs.mit.edu
+ Terminator's Mac Archive
+ RFC's From venera.isi.edu
+ The latest GNU software From prep.ai.mit.edu
+ Kermit Distribution From watsun.cc.columbia.edu
+ Graphics including GIFs From wuarchive.wustl.edu
+ Amiga From ab20.larc.nasa.gov
+ The latest WAIS sources From think.com
+ comp.sources.unix From gatekeeper.dec.com
+ comp.sources.games From ftp.uu.net
+ comp.sources.reviewed From ftp.uu.net
+ comp.sources.x From ftp.uu.net
+ comp.sources.misc From ftp.uu.net
Archie.AU is a dedicated machine with more than 5 Gbytes of disk space
located on the AARNet backbone in Melbourne. Response from archie will
be better than from any site located outside Australia and better than
many within Australia. Users can retrive files using FTP, MHSnet or the
FTP[-]Gateway. Those using MHSnet to access this machine should use a
certain amount of sense when requesting lots of files. Don't flood your
downstream sites.
If you think it would be beneficial to the Australian Academic and
Research Community to have something else shadowed, or you have comments
related to the archie server, send mail to
archive-wg@itd.adelaide.edu.au
