Archive-name: games/doom/FTP-WWW-sites Rec-games-computer-doom-announce-archive-name: FTP-WWW-sites Posting-Frequency: weekly (every Wednesday) - * < DOOM FTP/WWW Site List > * - Apr 27, 1999 Oct 13 - Removed Brazil mirror, added Greek mirror, changed 3 IP addresses, Deleted 11 URLs, Updated 2 URLs, Added 3 URLs. | Apr 27 - Holy Cow. Has it been THAT long??? Sorry 'bout that. Deleted | Illinois, France, Italy, 1 Aussie mirrors, changed 3 IP addresses. | Deleted 10 URLs, Updated 6 URLs, Added 11 URLs. NOTE: A '|' in column 1 means that this line was changed or added since the last edition of this sites list. NOTE: A disturbing trend that I've noticed is the lack of support for simpler browsers. Some authors even refuse to provide pages to non-frames-capable browsers. These are noted below, and will be removed if they do not attempt to provide info to *everyone*. NOTE: Various html versions of this document exist, including this one: http://www.gamers.org/pub/archives/doom/periodic/FTP_WWW_sites.html Primary DOOM FTP Sites and Mirrors ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The "Primary" site contains the "master copy" of the DOOM FTP Archive. Contributions can be uploaded to the /pub/idgames/incoming directory, but LMPs should be uploaded to the /pub/idgames/lmps/incoming directory. "Mirror" sites each have a duplicate of the primary's idgames hierarchy (sometimes with a different name) that is updated on a daily basis. If a mirror site is closer to you, please use it instead of the primary. Log in as "anonymous" or "ftp". Use your e-mail address as the password. Some ftp sites also support WWW access (noted by http URL in list below). California: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/ (Primary Site) 209.155.82.18 | Arizona: ftp://ftp.infomagic.com/pub/mirrors/Doom/ 208.128.18.15 Virginia: ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/pc_games/doom/ 152.163.200.5 Pennsylvania: ftp://ftp.epix.net/pub/idgames/ 199.224.117.17 New York: ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/games/idgames/ 128.205.37.150 http://ftp.gamers.org/pub/games/idgames/ England: ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/idgames/ 193.63.255.4 http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/idgames/ Germany: ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/doom/ 160.45.2.5 | Austria: ftp://flinux.tu-graz.ac.at/pub/idsoftware/ 129.27.14.15 Poland: ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/games/idgames/ 153.19.253.204 http://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/games/idgames/ Sweden: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/ 130.238.253.5 http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/idgames/ Finland: ftp://ftp.sci.fi/pub/idgames/ 195.74.0.19 | Portugal: ftp://ftp.telepac.pt/pub/idgames/ 194.65.14.19 Greece: ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/vendors/idgames/ 147.102.222.210 S.
