We don't check on the following mirrors as closely, so please send mail if you operate one not listed or if a listed site has disappeared or fallen out of date. It is fine with us if additional sites mirror us, as long as they stay reasonably current and point to the Tennessee and New Jersey sites. There can be compelling patriotic reasons for nations or other large organizations to want to mirror. You'll probably want to initialize your site using one of the CD-ROMs to avoid a huge initial burst of mirroring traffic. Most of the sites provide both ftp and http access.
Some servers provide compressed files only, some uncompressed files only, and some provide both.
Since many of the algorithms are too large to transfer reliably as a single message, the reply is sent as self-reassembling Unix shell scripts. If necessary, you can glue the pieces back together manually.
