To which hexxie replied....
I wasn't asking for the url of the archives themselves, I was asking for
the
public URL of YOUR copy that YOU put up on YOUR bandwidth for the public
:)

ah I see now...well I don't currently have that as of right now, mainly
because I don't have the bandwidth (my ISP, Comcast blocks the server ports
on the home broadband service and requires signing up for one of the $100 a
month business broadband plans in order to host a server publicly...I was
doing that a while ago in a feeble attempt to be a small host but due to my
small budget and me being mercilessly DOS'd by Chinese zombies (reversed the
many many IP's...er those that I could capture in the rapidly changing
access log) which could not be stopped because Comcast did not handle such
attacks and my small budget did not allow for the purchase of the necessary
DOS stopping equipment I had to give up the biz for a while as even when I
changed IP's they'd just use my host name instead...ugh!...but if you had
asked me back then I would've been glad to host my archive on what bandwidth
was available-the dos (which was close to 0 :-( ))...the idea I had was that
I'd help download the stuff and hold onto it so that when someone else has a
server that they'd like to host the files on I'll always have the files and
be able to say to that person at any time "hey, I have those files in my
archive and would be more then happy to upload them your server at any
time"...you see? so perhaps someone would be so kind as to please share with
me their list of still up archives? please? I really want to help archive
and I can't do that without knowing any of the archives...please help me
help you, thanks! :-)
