[comp.sys.amiga] Fish Archive Site Problems

schur@venera.isi.edu (Sean Schur) (08/30/89)

For the past couple days I have been trying to ftp to one of the Fred Fish
sites to get some programs. I have been trying to connect to:

		uihub.cs.uiuc.edu

When I try I just get a connection timed out. I have been able to connect 
successfully, with no problems to:

		uxe.cso.uiuc.edu

Unfortunately, the one I can't get to has the files I need ff189-222. Does
anyone know if this site still exists? If not, where can I pick up files
from these disks on the net?

Thanks in advance.

Uihub was a sick puppy for a while.  Major filesystems trouble and
whatnot.  It's back though.  You should be able to get to it now.

Re: Sean Schur's FTP problems with uihub.cs.uiuc.edu ...

It times out for me, too.

The uxe.cso.uiuc.edu has all the cucug and Amicus disks.

Please! Please!

If you're having trouble FTP'ing to UIHUB, send email to me or John Carey
(carey@cs.uiuc.edu).  It will reach us faster than posting it here, and
it won't annoy the folks w/o Internet access.  At this time- 9/3/89 at
13:15 CDT- uihub is up and is receiving connections from the outside world.
To be precise, I see ftpd connections from 'draken.nada.kth.se' and
'mammutti.utu.fi'.

Sometimes, problems connecting to UIHUB occur during times of heavy load -
a dozen FTP sessions can do horrible things to a 3B15 and their response 
times are pretty slow to begin with.  So you should also consider doing your 
FTP'ing during off-peak hours.

If someone wishes to open up a machine for the material on UIHUB, which
includes Fish 189-236 and CUCUG 1-23, please speak up.  I realize that
UIHUB is frustrating and annoying, but for as long as I am keeping this stuff
online for my own benefit, it is easy enough for me to put it over on UIHUB.
