This seems to be a common question, here's an answer:

	1. You must have FTP access
	2. read the manual entry
	3. access the ftp site, eg. some atari sites:

Main one:

terminator.cc.umich.edu            141.211.164.8   xscheme, msdos, atari,


Others: (NB. lots of European sites here (.de .fi .nl)

cs.uni-sb.de                       134.96.7.254    GNU, atari, RFCs, perl, misc
dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu               129.22.16.2     Minix, TOS Atari ST, gcc from
faui43.informatik.uni-erlangen.de  131.188.1.43    NeWS X11 amiga atari faces
jyu.fi                             128.214.7.5     unix, atari, amiga, mac,
