PM is one of the world's largest and most popular archives with over six Terabytes (6000 Gigabytes) of disk space, pushing more than 2 Terabytes of content per day into the Internet (just over a Petabyte (1000 Terabytes) since we launched in 2000).

Q. How can I download from PlanetMirror ?
A. There are a number of ways you can access PlanetMirror's archives. You can use:
  • HTTP
    • Use your favourite WWW Browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla or Opera.
    • Download managers such as GetRight, Download Accelerator or GoZilla!.
    • Other HTTP clients, including Wget, Lynx and Debian's APT.
  • FTP
    • Using any popular FTP client (such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or your browser-builtin).
    • When using FTP, use anonymous login, with your email address as your password.
  • Rsync
    • Many of PlanetMirror's archives are available via Rsync.
    • Use the command rsync rsync.planetmirror.com:: to see what's available.
Q. Why am I asked for a username and password when I try to download using DAP / GetRight ?
A. PlanetMirror provides a sophisticated system for seamless downloads using our Premium service. You might find that you are being asked for a username and password if you are using a Download Accelerator type of program. This is due to some bugs with how these programs interact with PlanetMirror. You are not required to enter a username or password to download from planetmirror's public servers.
