Alternative to Macintosh Garden (with fewer files)..

I was able to get my networking up and running, its slow.. but Fetch is crashing on downloading a list of files from repo1.macintoshgarden.org

The Mac Iici has 64 MB of memory and I increased the size of the application memory, but it still crashes at some point.

Is there another site I can download more up to date ftp software?

Maybe Transmit might work better? https://www.system7today.com/transmit

Yeah, Macintosh Garden just has too many files in one directory for Fetch to handle. I use this method to download files from there: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads...ntoshgarden-files-from-your-mac-via-ftp.2946/

I think I have a method.. I use Fetch to log into Macintosh Garden, then on my linux box (through ssh via my iMac LOL) I find the exact name of the file and do a "get file" from Fetch.. it seems to work fine.. but its a real hack.
