Dave, just use a mirror, for example:

Pat, I do use FTP on computer-refuge, as I'm sure you know from my prior
communications to you when your server quits talking. :-) However, two
points of concern:
1. You are the only FTP mirror, so if you go away, FTP access goes away.
(The mirror at zerkalo.curie.fr gives a "550 no such directory" error
when accessed via the link at bitsavers.org.)
2. There's an inevitable mirroring delay between the time that Al says,
"It's up on bitsavers" and it becomes available on a mirror.
I surely appreciate your hosting an FTP mirror of bitsavers, and I use it
with some regularity, but I'd be happier still if bitsavers hosted one
itself too.
