There was a well known ftp site in the early 1990s called
simtel20.army.mil. It was mostly known as a repository for ms-dos
utilities, but it also had a collection of source code to various
user-contributed unix utilities. I just uploaded those to the Internet

Wow. There is an ftp site I haven't thought of in 30+ years. Cool find!

IIRC, there were people still connected waiting for the switch to be
flipped...
