- That's perfectly all right and welcome. I'll try to give what I
- know. There are three Garbo mirrors, and only one is in US, that is
- wuarchive. It and the reast are listed in the MsDos FTP site list

- The said list gives the major mirror directries at the relevant
- mirror sites. There doesn't seem to be an overall convention. It
- is more or less individual on the mirrors, just like it is on the
- actual parent sites. Thus the moder18.zip list is really the first
- key to your questions. (Which, incidentally, are very relevant in
- this group, just like I am pleased to say has been practically
- everything that has been going on in here).
-
- The summary (whether speaking of mirroring or the original sites) is
- that each FTP site is an indivudual even if there can be
- similarities. Occasionally there have been demands to standardize
- (in comp.archives.administrative a year ago), but my response has
- been that if someone wants to standardize, they are welcome to take
- their cues from us, or pay us really handsomely. Keith's response
- has been approximately the same.
-
- All the best, Timo
