Each CTAN site has identical material, -and maintains authoritative versions of its material. These -collections are extensive; in particular, almost everything mentioned -in this FAQ -is archived at the CTAN sites (see the lists of software at the -end of each answer). -<p/> - The CTAN sites are - <a href="ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive">Dante (Germany)</a>, - <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive">Cambridge (UK)</a> and - <a href="ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive">TUG (USA)</a>; the links are to - the root of the CTAN tree, above which the layout is - identical at each site. -<p/>The TeX files at each CTAN node may also be accessed via -the Web at URLs <a href="http://www.dante.de/tex-archive">http://www.dante.de/tex-archive</a>, -<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive">http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive</a> and -<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive</a> respectively, but not all -CTAN mirrors are Web-accessible. -<p/>As a matter of course, to reduce network load, -please use the CTAN site -or mirror closest to you. A complete and current list of CTAN sites -and known mirrors is available as file <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites">CTAN.sites</a> on the -archives themselves. -<p/>Better still, the script behind <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/">http://mirror.ctan.org/</a> will -cunningly choose a “nearby” mirror for you, using information from -the database ‘behind’ <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites">CTAN.sites</a>; at present it uses -<code>ftp</code> protocol for transfers, but the intention is to convert -it to using <code>http</code> (web) protocol in the near future. -<p/>To access a particular thing through the <code>mirror.ctan.org</code> -mechanism, simply place the CTAN path after the base -URL; so -<a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/footmisc/">http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/footmisc/</a> will -connect you to the <i>footmisc</i> directory — note that the -<i>tex-archive</i> part of the CTAN path isn’t needed. -<p/>For details of how to find files at CTAN sites, see -“<a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">finding (La)TeX files</a>”. -<p/>The TeX user who has no access to any sort of -network may buy a copy of the archive as part of the -<a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Live distribution</a>. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives</a> -</body> |
