Mac Hut is back

Update:

Changes to server directory listings

Several changes have been made to the directory listings on Mac Hut:

* The filename column now adjusts its width to the filenames in the directory you are browsing.

* If a directory has sub-directories, those will now be listed first, before individual files.

* All files are now listed alphabetically, ascending.

Descriptions!

I have started the very long and slow process of adding descriptions to every file. You will see descriptions in the 'Descriptions' column.

A directory with descriptions:

http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut/files/util/system/'>http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut/files/util/system/

Upload your files

You can now upload your own files to Mac Hut. Connect to http://www.valleyofthelights.com with username 'upload' and no password via an FTP client.

Enjoy! :cool:

At this very moment in the space-time continuum, Fetch 5.3 accuses your site of inaccessibility. So? Or no?

I was doing that, and now I yam doing that, I yam, I yam, and the upload is proceeding even as we speak, albeit at glacial speed.

Just remember to be sure you set your FTP client to binary mode before you send. I accidentally left mine in "auto" mode and it transfered my files as text files, which of course corrupted them. I had to redo my uploads in binary mode to get them to work!

Thank you to those who have been uploading files.

Public mirror

Is anyone willing to host a public mirror of Mac Hut? Ideally, the host needs to have a good connection (hopefully with no bandwidth limits), Apache, and at least 5GB storage. PM or e-mail me if you are able to help.

Statistics

Here's some stats:

286 unique visitors in February, 478 visits, 30125 hits, 6.95 GB downloaded.

The most popular file is "SoftWindows 1.0.2.sit" with 23 downloads.

There have been 12 hits from AmigaOS users!

I haven't seen that file on machut or my local mirrors of quite a bunch of macintosh web/ftp sites. Does it exist?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roughly 35 kbps and then dropped to 7 kbps.

It's nice that people run their own servers from home, but the connection speed leaves much to be desired. :-/

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds.

However, a slow download is better than none at all. BTW, if you need faster access because you want to set up a mirror, i can make that happen. I hang around in #68kmla and #machut on Freenode.

Mac Hut seems pretty speedy to me... I can get 3.5, even 4kbps download speeds! But i guess its only because i'm on dialup...

It was hosted on Vista?! You've got a lot of nerve. > :(

er... i get:

Safari can’t open the page.

Safari can’t open the page “http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.

From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. ;)

*crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed intarwebs*
