If you're enjoying a fun saturday in front of your beloved Mac OS (like I do 
right now!) give this one a try - a comeback of Archie:

http://archie.macdomain.net/

If you don't know what it is, I dare describe it as kind of a search-engine for 
public FTP servers (yep, remember FTP?). Since Google & others won't index FTP 
servers, they tend to fly under the radar - but it's so cool to connect to one 
via Fetch/Transmit and start exploring and downloading!

From what I understand the index of FTP servers on Archie is slowly being 
expanded and in fact, I do see more results searching for "Macintosh" than I did 
just two weeks ago. So it might be worth to come back after some time and do 
another search as they keep expanding their database.
