Go to:
<URL:
http://www.exim.org/> (or other current mirror)
If using a browser which supports Frames, then look in the top left
frame; if not, but your browser does support displaying the names of
frames, then choose the "toc" frame and then the "index" frame.

You need a machine running a web-server and a means to fetch the current
content; the recommended tool being the rsync client.
I think that it was less than 10 minutes work to set up
<URL:
http://exim.globnix.org/>, and there's a strong chance that that
was the first time that I'd used rsync. It's truly simple.
