Hi ladies!
Turns out you have to pay DynDNS.org to use subdomains these days. Wich is why the mirror can't be accessed any more:
http://machut.uberhost.dyndns.org/
Anyways, you can access the Machut mirror here (in fact, you could all the time :lol: ):
http://uberhost.dyndns.org/machut/
If you use wget or something like that make sure you
I would suggest this commandline:
If you use another download manager make sure it mimics those settings. Some programs are really greedy, some even start 5 or 10 downloads at the same time, and i would have to blacklist your ip, your provider or even remove the mirror.
So, be gentle with my little uberhost.

If you use wget or something like that make sure you
- have 3383 mb of free space
- don't use excessive bandwidth, the host is at my flat and connected using a tiny cable with tiny bandwidth.
- don't mirror parent directorys, because it would download petabytes of stuff (straight from /dev/urandom and /dev/zero) you have no interest in.
- don't forget to use the -c switch, wget will then see that you have some files and check my files if they are newer, then it continues where it was stopped, saving time and bandwidth for you an me.
- limit your bandwith, so other can get a few bytes for themselfs and i can still surf the web.
I would suggest this commandline:
Code:
wget -c -m -np --limit-bandwidth=10k http://uberhost.dyndns.org/machut/So, be gentle with my little uberhost.

You also need to add -e robots=off
I'm tempted to revive Mac Hut, but Macintosh Garden has really ended up being an excellent resource for abandonware, so perhaps there isn't much appetite for another Mac abandonware site now? Thinking back, I did enjoy running Mac Hut and I'd be sure I could make a much better job of it nowadays...hmm... :?:
Well, it took me longer than I thought it would to make the decision, but I decided to ressurect this project...
https://machut.net/
And if you want to visit via an older browser that can't handle the SSL encryption: http://www.machut.net/
This is a very basic attempt at a reboot of my abandonware archive, though I prefer to call it a 'niche selection of essentials for System 6 and 7' rather than an 'abandonware archive' as that implies I have a large collection of archived software when I do not (yet).
At the moment, the downloads offered are archived in .tar.gz files - I've since realised these are not the easiest to open on older machines (it is possible with the correct utilities on System 7), but I will be changing these to .Sit files created with an early version of DropStuff to ensure better compatibility with earlier versions of Stuffit (3.5) that work on System 6.
Inside the downloads, are files in .dsk, .image or .img format - these are copies or near-copies of the original installation disks. I am not providing pre-installed files that may have been damaged, corrupted or lost their resource forks. I am testing everything in Mini vMac in System 6 (Mac Plus emulation), Mini vMac in System 7.1 (Mac II emulation) and Basilisk II in System 7.5.3 (some sort of Mac II emulation, IIcx or IIci I think).
I am scanning files with SAM, Disinfectant and Agax to prevent leaking files that contain any nasties - however I would still recommend doing your own scans and I do recommend installing SAM on your own machine if you haven't already. If you find a file that still contains a virus please tell me straight away and I will fix it.
If you find anything that doesn't work, please let me know, I sometimes hang out in the 68kmla IRC channel and I'm in various channels on Discord (PM me if you want to know which ones) and I'm also on Reddit as 'mac-hut', otherwise just respond to this thread as I do check the site quite often.
So, stay tuned, more titles will be added to the site soon + a FTP server when I have the time to create one (again, soon).
Any help/feedback appreciated, thanks!

Thank you for this!
Edit: May I suggest adding in 6.0.8L for the Classic II?
