Info-Mac Archive Mirror Sites

We ask that you use these mirrors, and NOT SUMEX-AIM, because the load on it makes it difficult for us to manage the Archive! We recommend that you avoid mirror sites that are not listed here, because they are not in touch with us and do not have permission to carry the Archive.

Please contact us at info-mac-request@sumex-aim.stanford.edu if you have any trouble using any of these sites, find any of this info to be incorrect, or know of a site not listed here.
