Where to FTP Ansi Packs

Where to FTP Ansi Packs

alt.ascii-art · 1 message · 24 Feb 1995
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.
