This is the prince of mac shadow archives; not only does it mirror
some 13 mac sites (amug_mac (bbs-in-a-box), apple,
bio.indiana_mac, info-mac, mac-develop, macfaq, macpsych,
onramp_mac, uiowa_newton, umich_mac, utexas_mac, utk_mac_math,
wimsey_mac, providing its own archives, but also provides rtfm
newsgroups FAQs and texts.
Note at present it supports only 60 users in a class so be
gentle.

ftp.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) /software/mac/

organisations with a SWITCH service contract, - foreign education
& research organisations. If you do not belong to one of these
categories, you are NOT allowed to log in as 'anonymous' or 'ftp'.

irisa.irisa.fr (131.254.2.3)
/News/comp.binaries.mac/
They keep archives of the postings to the comp.binaries.mac
newsgroup. The files all stored in one huge directory, so instead
of doing an 'ls', get the index file to look at offline.
All Files: /News/comp.binaries.mac/index
How to Upload: Post to the comp.binaries.mac
USENET group.
mac.archive.umich.edu
(141.211.32.2) /mac/
This big site has a large number of files, many of them unique.
There are many outline fonts here {Adobe type 1, type 3, and
TrueType}. About the only gripe I have is the tremendous number of
subdirectories, e.g. /mac/system.extensions/font/truetype... but
that's a small price to pay for the work they have put into this
site.
mirror.archive.umich.edu is a special pointer that will randomly
connect you to one of the mac.archive.umich.edu mirrors.

micros.hensa.ac.uk (194.80.32.51)
/micros/mac/
Has an awkward way naming their directories with letters of the
alphabet and numbers, so one has to get the index files in the
directories first to see what they have. (Wojtek Rypniewski

WWW: http://micros.hensa.ac.uk/micros/mac.htm
sumex-aim.stanford.edu (171.65.4.33)
/info-mac/
Site's name is 'Info-Mac' _not_ 'sumex'. "We ask that you use our
mirrors INSTEAD of our server,
because the load there now makes it difficult for us to manage the
archive!" (Info-Mac Archive Mirror Sites)
The king of macintosh ftp sites. If you want your uploads to get a
wide distribution, this is the place to send them to. They also
have their own message "list", the info-mac digests which is handy
for those who don't have USENET access.
Note: sumex-aim has effectively become a
mirrors only site, so use one of its mirrors
- /info-mac directory or [IM].
