The SF ftp structure sucks and the Ibiblio mirror of the SF site sucks for
the same reason. Ibiblio offers a tree structure now. Why wait for SF to
implement a tree structure for us when obviously this isn't a priority
issue for SF and probably won't be offered for some time if ever?

Check out http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/. All sorts of
distributions are here. Coyote and LRP files have a home here. Debian,
Mandrake and Redmond Linux also. Storage of large files including CD images 

don't seem to be an issue.

Check out the Gentoo content. They have http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/,
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/ and
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo as file locations.

I suggest that Ibiblio is a much better repository for our files than SF.
