[DECtalk] The DECtalk Archive

[Matthew Horspool]

Hi All,

The DECtalk archive is now back up!

Here are the FTP credentials:
Address: thehorspools.bounceme.net
Port: 21

Log-in anonymously to access the DECtalk archive.  If you had an individual 
user account to manage your files before it went down, that account is back 
in working order as well.

If you have submissions and you either do not have a directory or you do not 
have an account to manage it, put them in the submissions folder and I will 
deal with them as soon as I can.  If you would like an individual user 
account, please send the log-in details you would like and your current 
directory name to
matthew at thehorspools.com
and I will create the account for you.

I am currently experiencing difficulties with pasv transfer support.  Whilst 
I think I know what the issue is and I can deal with it, I advise you to use 
active transfers wherever possible.

You can currently upload and download as fast as my bandwidth will allow. 
If, however, I find that the archive is slowing my Internet down too much I 
will cap it.  Please avoid using the destructive downloading capabilities 
provided by your FTP client - this will potentially result in your IP 
address being banned from the server for an as yet undecided period of time.

IP addresses that fail to successfully log-in after five attempts within an 
hour will be blocked from accessing the server for around six weeks.  This 
is a security mechanism designed to decrease server spamming.  If it causes 
problems, please let me know.

Finally, the server may go down for brief periods of time.  Over the past 
three weeks, however, it has only gone down twice, so I anticipate it being 
up for most of the time.

Enjoy!
Matthew Horspool
