alternate site for linux-alpha stuff

Hello!

We are students from germany and brandnew owners of three 150MHz Alpha AXP
stations. I think that they have the Jensen boards, but I don't know exactly.
Our problem is that ftp.digital.com (alias gatekeeper.dec.com) is on the other
side of the atlantic ocean and ftp transfer rates are lower than 30 bytes per
second :-(. Another problem is that there is no stable connect on long
transfers
(>0.5MB).

Now, does anyone know a mirror site of linux-alpha stuff in Europe? It would
help us a lot, because we still have only a preinstalled Windows NT without
any application software.

Thanks in advance,
