The directory layout and automated mirroring is not yet ready, but Lynx
users who have the chance this weekend can help test the FTP site for
Lynx distribution. The directory for the current distribution will be:

ftp://lynx.isc.org/current/

This has been aliased by Rob Partington to also be:

ftp://ftp.us.browser.org/current/.

Our intent is to add "official" mirrors around the globe that will
be aliased with the same pattern. My test this morning showed a file
transfer rate to BCPL peaking at 25KB/second using Lynx to transfer
lynx-cur.zip. If someone can test FTP restart, that would be good.

We thank Paul Vixie and the Internet Software Consortium for providing
the FTP service for Lynx development.

Cheers!
