In the past month I've seen quite a few requests for FTP sites for ray tracing related stuff, so here's my latest list. Look for Harold Andrews II's compilation list of FTP sites for ray tracers (to be posted here soon), but until that time this should tide you over. Please do send me corrections & additions.
