Tucows Mac Software Collection

[davewongillies]

I just saw on Twitter that the final upload of the Tucows Software collection has been uploaded to archive.org. In that upload is 71GB of Mac software of varying vintage which may or may not be of interest to people here. The list of files in the zip file can be found here.

Do I need this on my NAS in addition to the infomac and garden mirrors? Yes.

Is there a downloadable mirror for info-Mac?

Looks like there's either https://archive.org/details/info-mac-archive or https://archive.info-mac.org/

I see that. But it’s all files individually. What if I want the entire archive for my own offline storage ?

Found it!

Or, maybe it is now? I never even considered grabbing my own mirror of these old software archives, but at around 5 gigs, this is like streaming a single movie so why not? Download is working for me right now.

Apologies - I checked the 3 links in the first post and all 3 say similar to this -
'This item is no longer available.

As you point out later links work - doh!
