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.
