Seems the LifeRaft list is behind time. We have come closer to an answer on
the Arachne mailinglist ;-)

Perhaps. If someone can give me storage space I already have Simtel.Net's
msdos and gnu directories archived on CD from a few months back. I need
atleast 2GB, probably 2.5 due to cluster sizes. However I would suggest
*against* using the directory tree and indexes that they did, it would most
likely be a violation of the copyright laws.

Until that day I think (but I'm not certain) that the swedish university
network (ftp.sunet.se) still has a working mirror. It's also unlikely that
they'll run out of slots for people to connect to them since they are, more
or less anyway, located at the "hub" for the majority of the internet
traffic to/from the Noridc countries, the Baltic states and some of Russia.

BTW: How long will the LifeRaft list be operative? Many mails end up both
in this one and in the SurvPC list. I would prefer to only download them once.
