[DECtalk] dectalk archive: six months afterward

[Devin]

Have you tried oneDrive? That's 30 or so gb free storage. I'm not sure if you can share folders though. Or how about an ftp server? No-ip provides free domain for that, and a web site too.

Unfortunately, when I did that, my keys got scrambled. This means that when I used my keys for various folders, BTSync believed I was starting completely new folders. I have not yet figured out why nor how to fix it. Theoretically, it should not require anything on your end to start getting updates once I've got it all fixed.

It would probably have bandwidth restrictions, but it would give those who do not like BTSync or who hear bittorrent and assume illegal a way to hear the content. I'm not sure if this is important or not.
> 2. A content restricted version. This could be an entirely separate copy of the archive with different BTSync keys and website that contained all of the productions except those with content that some might consider undesirable. Anything contributed to the content-restricted version would automatically be placed in the full version as well.
>    Also, I had a question about the dectalkified episodes of Red Dwarf. Well, two questions. First, should we keep them? I decided to leave them out of the no legal gray areas rule because of the history they represent. This will change if the BBC tells me otherwise, but until then, or unless the community asks to have it changed, they will remain. Secondly, if they remain, should they be updated? There are places where there are errors, and only the first six series of a ten-series show are present. Should we go through and correct them?
