- Hello all,
-
- First, this is more of a trivia sort of "I'm interested" question.
- My room mate and I the other day were having a discussion about some
- of the major ftp archive sites around, such as wuarchive, simtel 20,
- garbo, cica, etc., and the point came up about exacltly how much storage
- space these ftp sites have on-line, available to the user. There's such
- a vast quantity of programs and information on these sites, we were just
- wondering exactly how big they are. I know that simtel at least has to
- be around 600 megs or so, because of the periodic CD-ROM of the archives
- that is released now and then.
- Again, just curiosity. Thanks for any replies.
