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 currently \FTP{dante.ctan.org} (Germany), +\FTP{cam.ctan.org} (UK) and \FTP{tug.ctan.org} (USA). +The organisation of TeX files on all +CTAN sites is identical and starts at +<i>tex-archive/</i>. 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. +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>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> |
