I use mirror instead of sup to avoid these problems as it will allow
the pulling site to customize which directories to get instead of only
the combinations that are defined by sup..

The latest version of mirror is available from:

	src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1]
		directory: computing/archiving/mirror
		(shortcut packages/mirror)
	
        ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75]
        	directory: pub/networking/mirror


	ftp.sun.ac.za [146.232.212.2]
		directory: pub/packages/mirror
