Best time: the wee hours of the morning. Or be prepared to be *very* patient.
(Aside: are you using the correct IP address? You should be using 26.2.0.74).

Other PC archives? Check comp.archives, of course. FTPable archives include
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu and wuarchive.wustl.edu. I don't have their IP addresses
handy, but I'm sure somebody can supply them if you need them.
