  GNU archive site
       
           The main GNU FTP archive is on gnu.org but
          copies ("{mirrors") of some or all of the files there are
          also held on many other computers around the world.  To avoid
          overloading gnu.org and the Internet you should
          FTP files from the machine closest to yours (you may be able
          to use traceroute to determine which is logically closest if
          it's not obvious from the transfer rate).  Trans-ocean
          TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very slow.
       
          The following hosts mirror GNU files.  Look for a directory
          like /pub/gnu, /mirrors/gnu, /systems/gnu or /archives/gnu.
          Electronic mail addresses of administrators and Internet
          addresses are given for some hosts.
