dude, you're not gonna find any local ftp servers, bandwidth is too expensive and people aren't that generous in SA...
if you want international ftp servers try tuxrepublic.com they had an ftp section a while back, but it's pretty obvious you're not too clued up about pc's so rather stick to something like the news server...: http://www.newshost.za.net

MmMmmmmM Guys whats funny?
Im only a kid or a noob as you guys would like to call me..so do you mind explaining?
I do apologise Project X - sometimes things are too tempting! 127.0.0.1 is a special IP reserved for "this computer" ie: the one you are working on ie: "localhost" aka "loopback".
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost for more info.
We were just ragging you.

To answer your original question ( I'm not really the right person ) ftp.is.co.za has lots of Linux, if you are looking locally. Full version games and music, I don't know, locally - you'd have to weasel your way onto the dreadful local torrent sites. If you are on an IS account, maybe give up on FTP and look at their news (NNTP) server - lots of "stuff" available there. If you have international bandwidth then ... well... the sky's the limit.
No hard feelings?
