Each icon connects you to the respective server (Geneva/Melbourne) providing
you with an alternative connection to the UNTPDC WWW. Currently there
are two main servers that hold the UNTPDC web site. You may access
either one depending on the region where you are located. Choose the
one closest to you for faster transfers. They are both identical and
are mirrored daily. If you wish, more information is available about mirroring the UNTPDC site.
