FTP Server New!
The University of Texas at Austin's public FTP server, ftp.utexas.edu, provides exact local copies (mirrors) of the content of popular download sites. This mirrored content can be accessed by members of the university community, which helps lessen the demands placed on the university's external Internet. Visit the FTP server to access popular mirrored sites such as Apple, FreeBSD, MySQL, Netscape, Perl, RedHat Linux, and Windows.
