開源項目的映像網站(http and ftp mirrors for opensource projects)

Here I summarized many famous Unix-like or Linux-like systems and the http and ftp mirrors for getting them.

While, this is not my original purpose, I can download each project from Apache Software Foundation, but I want to download the whole distribution of ASF, of course I have more than 1 Terabyte hard disk for storing stuff. I searched from the Apache home page and found the ftp mirrors, I found most of the mirrors did not only be a mirror of Apache, but also be a mirror of many open source project, such as Fedora project, Ubuntu project...... So, I can use a GUI ftp tool to download the while directory tree.

    So, I create a memo for the ftp sites.

Http and Ftp sites list:
