I've been hosting a mirror for a while, check it out:

gopher://mozz.us/1/wayback/2007

Some interesting links:

gopher://mozz.us/1/wayback/2007/caramba.cs.tu-berlin.de/70
(fancy formatting via dummy filenames, who needs "i" selectors?)

gopher://mozz.us/1/wayback/2007/bbs.synchro.net/70/sub%253Aad%2526d
(uses ":" instead of "/" as path separator, apparently this was a
semi-popular mac HFS thing back in the day)

gopher://mozz.us/1/wayback/2007/dongpo.math.ncu.edu.tw/70
(uses Big5 CJK encoding, a good gopher client torture test!)

gopher://mozz.us/1/wayback/2007/home.jumpjet.info/70/1%255CGopher_Jewels_2
(Gopher Jewels 2, unfortunately the original Gopher Jewels is lost for good=
)
