I'm trying to remember "the" big FTP site back then. There was one in particular that was the "go to" site for, well, pretty much everything.

ftp.cdrom.com, metalab.unc.edu, sunsite.something, ...

Oh, I'd forgotten about cica.cica.indiana.edu... kinda ironic since I'm only a couple of miles away from where it lived.

You also reminded me of "The Usenet Oracle" (later, "The Internet Oracle" [0][1]) which also lived at IU.
