Hmm... I kind of doubt that that's enough space. Only for the msdos
directory you'll need (roughly) 2 700MBs CDs + around 300MB with the rest.
And, we haven't even begun talking about the huge ammount of files. You'll
loose lots of space due to the clusters as well. I would start at 2GB, but
I would guess we would end up closer to 2.5

Actually it was for that purpose (mirroring simtel.net) I made it. But I
already have it all, just give me a place to store it. I did switch to
BulletProof FTP (alas a Win9x/NT program) instead since it made it easier
for me to mirror the entire directory structure and download when I had the
time to do it.

BTW: If you are serious about mirroring simtel.net I suggest you add a few
more than just file/.zip since not everything is in ZIP form. I only
checked a few directories, but you'll need .txt (not only used for indexes)
.asm .c .e (I have no idea what these are) and there were a few others I
don't remember right now ;-)
Besides, lets count a bit... we'll be positive and say you got 5MBs in 22
minutes. With 340 more sessions like that you should get all of it. In
other terms it's close to 7500 minutes which is roughly 125 hours. Is it
worth it? It would cost me around 75USD. And are you going to be able to
get it all before it's "too late"?
