Hello all, I searched quite a while but couldnt find any info, now I'm posting here. Does anybody know what has happened to the Asimov archive? It seems that since some days there is no more access to the ftp server. And when you point your browser to "asimov.net" it states that the domain is for sale. This would really be sad if Asimov would have been gone :-( Also there were quite some very interesting images in the incoming folder, are these images now also lost?
When I try to log on ftp I get a reply that says: ftp.apple.asimov.net=208.185.231.103 220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (ftp.moveon.org) [208.185.231.103] USER anonymous 331 Password required for anonymous. PASS *********** 530 Login incorrect. QUIT Retry: Wait 5 sec I don't remember seeing ftp.moveon.org before (it is a political organization) and I have never been rejected like that I think. Timeout yes, reject no. Also when trying this in a browser I get '530 Login incorrect' and I'm sure I never saw that before. The IP belongs to 'We also walk dogs' according to whois, which seems to be a network company. MoveOn is presented as one of their customers. Is it the correct IP the DNS is giving me? Many people have probably downloaded all of it (except for that in the incoming directory) I do have many of the files. So, not lost. -- Knut (delete 'nogarbage.' for email)
