The following is the list of the five most important FTP sites for users interested in downloading TV episode guides and FAQ's:

1) ftp://SRC.DOC.IC.AC.UK/public/media/tv/collections/tardis/

The formerly "complete" FTP site for episode guides; the "Tardis" site used to have the most up-to-date copies of almost every guide/FAQ that's out there, but Tardis has *not* been updated since April of 1995, so (like ftp.uu.net) the site is now INCOMPLETE and guides are often OUT-OF-DATE..

Mailto: tv-archive@cheers.demon.co.uk (may be moribund)

2) ftp://FTP.UU.NET/usenet/rec.arts.tv/

The "official" FTP site for episode guides; the UUnet site used to be the official site for rec.arts.tv, but it is no longer maintained, so the site is now INCOMPLETE and guides are often OUT-OF-DATE.

Mailto: n/a

3) ftp://RTFM.MIT.EDU/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/

An FTP site with numerious FAQ's for usenet groups, including many alt.tv.*, rec.arts.*, etc. groups, or those posted in news.answers.

Mailto: news-answers-request@mit.edu

4) ftp://SFLOVERS.RUTGERS.EDU/pub/sf-lovers/

The most "complete" FTP site for episode guides for Sci-fi TV shows; however I have noticed that many of the FAQ's and guides here are a little dated.

Mail to: sf-lovers-request@rutgers.edu

5) ftp://FTP.FUNET.FI/pub/culture/tv+film/

The main European FTP site for episode guides; this site seems to mirror the guides from other sites; it is fairly, but by no means totally, complete.

Mailto: staff@ftp.funet.fi
