File Transfer (FTP)

Demon's FTP mirrors

A mirror is where one FTP server stores copies of files which have a home on a different site, allowing local users faster access. When the files on the home site are updated, they are also updated on the mirrors.

As well as our own huge archive, we have a wide selection of mirrors available on our FTP site. Some of the most popular are:
