The Arizona Macintosh Users Group (AMUG) ftp site is one of the major Mac sites on the net. The only problem the site has is that it tends to be very hard for non-members to log on and there are few mirror sites.

Info-Mac is the king ftp sites though you cannot access it direcly, rather you have to use a mirror. If you want your uploads to get a wide ftp distribution, this is still the place to send them to. However HTTP sites have taken a large chunk out of the files that use to be sent to this site, files still have to be emailed to macgifts@info-mac.org, and the info-mac digests which gave update information on Usenet stopped being done years ago.
