[comp.sys.amiga] latest ff disks and ftp sites

ertem@polya.Stanford.EDU (Tuna Ertemalp) (08/13/89)

Ok, here is the deal... Since I post the regular monthly list of FTP
sites and mail servers for Amiga, I get literally zillions of
questions about where to find the latest Fred Fish disks on those
sites. And my standard answer is that you can find disks ff158-ff210
on etana.tut.fi, but the rest is only on uihub.cs.uiuc.edu which is
down for at least the last three weeks. I posted a question about
uihub recently on this newsgroup, and the answers I received via
private email weren't too encouraging. Summarizingly, they said that
uihub is a neglected machine in uiuc, which in turn is the reason why
the volunteer student can use many megabytes on that machine to store
the Amiga stuff, and if it goes down, someone has to boot it up, but
the volunteer person doesn't have time to do that because he is a
student and it is summer.  Please ignore this reasoning, if you know
it is wrong, and post the true one.

Anyway, does someone know whether there is another site storing
ff211-fflast, a site which I don't have in my list??

Have fun
Tuna
