93: Where can I get other up-to-date GNU stuff? The most up-to-date official GNU stuff is normally kept on prep.ai.mit.edu and is available for anonymous FTP in the pub/gnu directory. See the + files etc/DISTRIB and etc/FTP for more information. (To get copies of these files, see question 20.) The following sites are all mirror images of the GNU distribution area: ! ! prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/ ! ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu/ ! src.doc.ic.ac.uk:gnu/ (available via FTP, NIFTP, FTAM) ! ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/gnu/ ! utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp ! nic.funet.fi The directory at ftp.uu.net is a mirror of prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu, ! except that files larger than 1 megabyte {right?} are automatically + split into multiple parts. If you have trouble transferring large + files, you should try here. A file normally named `XXX' is split into + files XXX-split/part[0-9][0-9], and there will be a file named + XXX-split/README which contains the list of parts (especially helpful + when FTP-ing by e-mail), their checksums, and reassembly instructions. + Some of the other mirror sites may have the same property. {Can someone + check this out?
