I know of, and have mentioned in the raif FAQ, two sites which mirror the
if-archive: <ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/doc/misc/if-archive/> and
<ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/misc/if-archive/>. I haven't checked out the wustl
site, but I have had a look at the funet one. ATM I am finding I get better
transfer rates when d/l from funet than from gmd itself (I'm in the UK).

I know very little of the WWW and it's workings, as I don't have access to
it, but if anyone knows of or runs a raif-related web page or whatever I
would be very grateful if they could send me details of it for inclusion in
the FAQ.

Actually, while I'm yakking about the FAQ...

Due to the rising popularity of frequently-asked questions on the newsgroup I
think I'll start posting once/week to raif (still once/month everywhere
else). I'll still only update it once/month though.

And, for all you die-hard *.answers fanatics, I'm still waiting on the
moderators for acceptance into the heirarchy.
