General Discussion / What's Inside the GNU FTP Arch...
Last post by Admin - May 30, 2025, 02:44 PMThe GNU FTP archive at ftp.gnu.org.uk is a vital resource for accessing free software developed and maintained by the GNU Project. This archive serves as an official distribution point for a wide array of GNU software and associated resources. It is frequently used by developers, system administrators, and anyone interested in the free software movement.
📁 Key Directories and Their Contents
gnu/
The heart of the archive. This directory contains official GNU software releases, including popular tools like GCC, Emacs, Bash, Coreutils, and many others essential to GNU/Linux systems.
We are proud to sponsor and host a UK-based mirror of this archive. Our mirror runs on NVMe storage, features a 1 Gbit/s uplink, and is kept up to date via rsync, ensuring fast and reliable access to this critical repository of free software.
Feel free to explore it at ftp.gnu.org.uk, and let us know if you have feedback or questions!

General Discussion / New GNU Mirror in the UK (ftp....
Last post by Admin - May 30, 2025, 02:41 PMAs part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the free software ecosystem, we recently applied to host an official mirror for ftp.gnu.org.uk – and we're happy to announce that the process is underway!
The GNU Project (see gnu.org) is one of the most important foundations of the free software movement. Since its creation in 1983, GNU has been developing a complete free operating system and many essential tools that power much of today's Linux infrastructure.
Our mirror is currently being synced via rsync, and will serve users via a high-speed 1 Gbit/s uplink from a UK-based server running on NVMe SSDs. This should ensure fast and reliable downloads for users across Europe and beyond.
We are also sponsoring the domain gnu.org.uk, which redirects to gnu.org, to help improve accessibility and visibility for the project.
🖥 Current Server Status
The mirror hosted by tux.re on our server in our london, the service is now online and operational. As of today, approximately 30% of the archive has been synchronized via rsync and is already being served from our infrastructure in the UK.
We're running this service on a high-performance NVMe setup with a 1 Gbit/s uplink, ensuring fast and reliable downloads for users in Europe and beyond.
🔄 What's Next?
We are currently working on enabling anonymous FTP access to the archive.
Note: Anonymous FTP is not yet available, but you can already browse and download the mirror via HTTPS:
👉 https://ftp.gnu.org.uk
This will soon allow users to access the archive via FTP as well – ideal for automation, legacy systems, or advanced workflows.
We're proud to support GNU and the broader free software community.
Feel free to leave feedback or ask questions here in the forum.
