Hello TeX folk, The host tug.ctan.org now resolves to the new official North American redistribution site at the University of Utah, thanks to long-time TeX stalwart Nelson Beebe, Pieter Bowman, and their institution's support.
So, folks in North America (and maybe elsewhere) should consider tug.ctan.org when using an explicit CTAN host. By rsync: rsync://tug.ctan.org/CTAN/ rsync is by far the most efficient way to do transfers, but of course the site is also available by ftp and http: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ The Utah site is itself updated hourly, so there is no worry about stale material. As a reminder, there is the generic redirector http://mirror.ctan.org/ which should go to an up-to-date and "nearby" host. We recommend using this url in articles, mailing list posts, etc., to better balance CTAN traffic. For example, http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/ Great thanks also to Jim Hefferon for years of hosting the master North American mirror of (and participating in) CTAN at St. Michael's College.
