What was the actual conclusion here?  My PM 7100's HD died a few weeks ago so the largest working SCSI drive I currently have is 200 mb.  I have 7.5 running on the PM now, but I could only fit Netscape 1 [which I just happened to have in my downloads folder on my desktop] on a floppy.

Then from Netscape - this is a little ironic - I couldn't properly access sourceforge (shocker), or macintoshgarden [i had this problem on 8.6 also], Max's server, oldapps, etc.  So I couldn't really download a newer browser.  It'd be enormously useful to have a simple server or this is going to be a sort of bootstrap issue.  Obviously I could use a CD [and I have one, I guess I have a file translation issue].  Still, this seems like something relevant to point out given the goal.  If Apple's older software list were still up it'd be irrelevant.

[Maybe this wouldn't be so common a problem.  I just happen to be low on CD-Rs, and I have an ethernet transceiver so wired internet is the easiest way to directly grab files that are always on the internet... usually.]

But I also realized that I didn't totally know what to download.  So what was the conclusion - IE 4/4.5?
