Get yourself a copy of any ftp program (ncftp is probably a good one),
ftp to ftp.dstc.edu.au (Brisbane) and cd to pub/linux. Get the file 
ls_lr, this is the directory of all the files on the server. Now grep 
this file for any software that takes your fancy, e.g. ftp, mosiac, 
archie, gopher, whatever.  The dstc site mirrors Slackware, Debian and 
Redhat so it's a good start.  You can then download whatever you find.
