The best sites for these are the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive
Network) ftp servers and their mirrors.  The three main servers are
ftp.tex.ac.uk, ftp.dante.de and tug2.cs.umb.edu and in Australia there
are two full mirrors: ctan.unsw.edu.au and ftp.cs.rmit.edu.au.  These
ftp servers have a number of very useful features that can be used in
retrieving files.  One such feature is that you are able to retrieve a
whole directory in an archive using a command such as `get
filename.tar.gz' or `get filename.zip' check the documentation on the
sites for more information about this and the other features.
