  GNU archive site
  GNU mirror site
  
     <body> The main GNU FTP archive is on gnu.org but
     copies ("mirrors") of some or all of the files there are
     also held on many other computers around the world.  To avoid
     overloading gnu.org and the Internet you should
     FTP files from the machine closest to yours (you may be able
     to use traceroute to determine which is logically closest if
     it's not obvious from the transfer rate).  Trans-ocean
     TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very slow.
  
     The following hosts mirror GNU files.  Look for a directory
     like /pub/gnu, /mirrors/gnu, /systems/gnu or /archives/gnu.
     Electronic mail addresses of administrators and Internet address
     es are given for some hosts.
