Subject: Re: ftp archives disappearing?
I've got some space I can dedicate to
archiving classic software
archives
and I'd be glad to put my internet bandwidth
to work for this great
cause...however I never really was around sadly back when these bbses
and
'ol ftp archives were popular and sadly
don't know of any (except for
some
good vintage mac archives which I've already
pretty much archived to its
entirety ^_^ )...perhaps one or more of you guys would be so kind as to
share with me your list of still existent ftp archives either on or off
list? Thanks! :-)
Which vintage Mac archive did you download?
I mirrored this one in its entirety:
http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/
I've mirrored a good chunk (minus all the huge game ISO's since the server
is so damn slow (meh, it's in china on a abused internet pipe so what do you
expect? ;-) :-P ) of
retromac68k.dyndns.org (a hotline server) as well as
68k.dyndns.org (another hotline server)...so while I may not have
_everything_ vintage mac (due to limitations in that the only real good
vintage mac archives I know of minus the mit one are those hotline ones
which don't allow folder downloading and have very slow download speeds
making it very difficult to grab everything off of them so I've grabbed what
I feel is most important from them), I do have 99% of the vintage mac OS's
(most of the major releases, some of the minor .x releases I can't find
though) and a total of 10GB of vintage mac software archived...if you know
of more http/ftp vintage mac archive please do let me know as I'll gladly
download everything from it :-) ...I'd also like to know of the other
vintage software archives you guys apparently know of as I'd like to help
archive the archives before they all disappear forever so if you could let
me know where those archives are I'd greatly appreciate it...thanks! :-)
