   There are several of these, and they're listed in the
comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), archived at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html

   I quote from the FAQ:

Q#30 Where can I get Apple II software and info on the net? 8/31/95     
          
   [A quick note about URL notation: For those of you with full net
   access, you can run a web browser (like Lynx if you are dialed in from    
   your Apple), which will understand URLs directly. Otherwise, ignore     
   the 'http:' ones and see the next section on how to use the FTP ones.)
          
Hint:                                                                
       ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^                               
                 Hostname         Directory
 
  Major FTP sites and mirrors:                                  
 
   ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2 We (The Apple II users of the      
   internet) paid a good chunk of money for this drive, so it's the
   biggest, and may have the best selection. During normal daytime hours,
   it may be busy, but the WWW interface at 
   http://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/ is almost always available     
          
   ftp://apple2.caltech.edu/pub/apple2 Maintained by Dan Zimmerman, this 
   large Apple II Archive also has a WWW interface at
   http://apple2.caltech.edu/a2archive.html, which supports automatic   
   binary downloading for most files, which is very nice.)
 
   ftp.apple.com, dts/aii Get Technical Info, System Software, etc. here.    
   
   ftp://apple2.archive.umich.edu/archive/apple2 Another large Apple II  
   archive. Once again, the WWW interface at
   http://www.umich.edu/~archive/apple2 can be less overloaded.      
 
   ftp://archive.orst.edu/pub/mirrors/archive.umich.edu (Umich mirror)  
                 
   ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/apple2 Usually overloaded; try the
   WWW interface at http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/apple2   
 
   ftp.support.apple.com, pub/apple_sw_updates/US/Apple_II/HyperCard_IIGS
   Hypercard GS, but really only unpackable on Macs. The .bxy files are
   not readable on Apple IIs unless you manyally strip off the 512 byte  
   header                                   
 
   http://www.openix.com/~jac Archive of all postings to
   comp.sources.apple2.

   There are a few more minor sites, but I doubt they're what you're
looking for.
