Ah, you're using the wrong archie server then :-)

Seriously, most archie servers have a lot of old data, which IMNSHO
is a bigger problem than *missing* data (though that's a problem too,
of course).  But, don't despair:

chur:/tmp:(505)$ archie -h archie.unit.no -l -s bonnie.tar |
                 egrep -vi 'freebsd|linux' 
19960311235500Z 142713 ftp.hal.com /incoming/bonnie.tar.Z
19921105003200Z   9717 ftp.cevis.uni-bremen.de /comp/benchmarks/bonnie.tar.gz
19921105003200Z   9717 ftp.uni-trier.de /pub/benchmarks/bonnie/bonnie.tar.gz
19940304000000Z  21386 eecs.nwu.edu /pub/Bonnie.tar.Z
19910923003200Z  17862 ftp.funet.fi /pub/unix/benchmarks/bonnie.tar.Z
19940224000000Z  14202 ftp.inria.fr /system/benchmark/Bonnie.tar.Z
19910402000000Z  14202 ra.nrl.navy.mil /rcd/Bonnie.tar.Z
19940224000000Z  14202 ftp.sunet.se /pub/benchmark/Bonnie/Bonnie.tar.Z

(Lots of hits with freebsd in them, too, of course).

This server has most of its data newer than 4 days, and nothing older
than 24 March.  And it has a much bigger dataset than other archie servers.
And, of course, it runs on NetBSD ...  :-)
