Prep.ai.mit.edu is the main distribution point, on which most new
GNU software are published.  There are some mirror sites, look at
the file etc/FTP on prep (pub/gnu/etc/FTP) or on your local emacs
distribution.  For example nic.funet.fi at Finland has pretty much
the same stuff than prep.

I also posted this because there may be general interest.
