Beginning today, the ACN Florida archives have been changed to http
access. My decision in this was easy, as I have far too many people
that feel the need to mirror all 4+ gigs of data on the server. By
mirror, I don't mean mirroring for the purposes of setting up another
mirror to the public, I basically mean "leech". Please, take what
you want and/or need, but, keep in mind....I am very bandwidth
limited. 4 to 5 users on high speed connections all leeching
everything on the entire server with an auto re-get ftp client really
strains the bandwidth for everyone else. Hopefully running the
archives on an http server will alleviate some of these problems.
FTP access will still remain available to the archive administrators
(you know who you are...Dr. Tom, Rubywand :-) If anyone has the
genuine intent to provide another public access mirror for these
archives, please contact me at gluesniffined@apple2.com and I will
make the necessary arrangements for you to have full FTP access.
the new URL for the ACN Florida archives is as follows:
http://24.96.48.134:8088
All MIME types for apple related files (dsk do shk bxy po sdk bsq arc
bsc) should be set to download as a binary file. Please let me know
if you have any problems with the files being transfered as text type
files rather than octet streams (binary mode) and feel free to let me
know about any extensions I may have forgotten. As an added benefit,
Dr. Toms mirror on my site will be fully viewable as a real web page.
Thanks,
G.S.E.
