Re: I have available missing older files for Debian archive (debian-30r0-i386 verified; also unverified: debian-21r0-i386-binary-1)

Steve McIntyre, et. al.,

The data is still up and hosted thus far ...
but not high availability nor high bandwidth - that changed several
months back.
I'll be thinning it out, though, to only what's
needed to restore/recreate the bits that are missing from the debian
archives and that can't also be restored from other location(s)
available on-line, notably:
ftp://ftp.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/_Linux/Debian/dists/Debian3.0r0/debian-30r0-i3
86-binary-1_NONUS.iso
And will probably eventually stop hosting the data (e.g. like maybe
about 90 days from now).  Have had it up and available for years - that
ought be quite long enough.
