Where to FTP Ansi Packs

This seems to be a popular topic of discussion in more than a few places, so here's a list of what I consider to be the best sources (beyond IRC). freedom.wit.com /ice /ansi (whenever they open it up) ftp.wustl.edu /incoming/ansi ftp.break.apana.org.au /ansi I had two or three other sites (one of them being a mirror of the old ftp.eng.ufl.edu site), but I can't seem to find my scribbled notes at the moment. Also, there was for a brief period a site run by SiDS of ACiD known as Deadbaby.. Deadbaby was highly active for the week or two it was around, but after some complications it went down. I talked to SiDS on irc the other night and he confirmed he will be running Deadbaby again in the very near future... keep an eye on the ACiD newsletter for more info on that. The freedom.wit.com site is by far the fastest site with ansi, being reachable in north america and in europe (where I'm told they have a dedicated mirror... find the address for yourself). At the moment the archive is limited to a large chunk of all the iCE packs to date. There other ansi directories, however I'm not sure if they've been brought on line yet or not (the non-ice section of the site is being maintained by my best friend.. so I gotta promo it). If it's not up yet try bugging mod...@freedom.wit.com or something... as it should be. _______ _ _ _ _ | )___________________ | | )___) - _) _ ) | | | _ | | | |___|___|___|__|__|_____| rbg...@duke.usask.ca
