@section FTP Sites

@emph{(Please note: The mirrors listed in this section are not monitored
automatically.  If you notice an error here, such as a broken link, a
site that's down, or an ommission, please notify the FAQ maintainer.
You can always find an up-to-date list of mirrors at
@file{http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.)}

@c Just commenting out unreachable sites now, though problem could have
@c been transient or a simple typo.  It would be nice to automate this,
@c perhaps against the cygwin/mirrors.html page.

@c NB: Have to pull commented items out of list structure, otherwise
@c looks bad in readme.txt.  They're at the bottom.  (Actually, it looks
@c bad anyway.)
