I just google +"filename.iso" "index of" site:edu, since universities
have the fattest pipes. It works great.

Using this method, I found a directory that had the complete  source
tarball for sunos, aix, and at&t unix. I even found the source to
cisco ios (10 or 11) once waaaaaay back in the day. I remember it had
a lot of motorola m68k folders in the tree. I didn't have a cd burner
or a lot of storage so they were all deleted since they were of no use
to me at the time.
