There are several archives on emacswiki.org – big huge tarballs. I want to make them available for distributed backups, but I don’t have the option of running a torrent at the site. And even if I had, I’m not sure this would be the ideal way of distributing the tarballs. Using rsync for the whole directory structure would make more sense, I guess. But there is no rsync on emacswiki.org.
Since these tarballs were eating so much bandwidth, I protected them. Here’s my .htaccess file for future reference:
ErrorDocument 403 /archives-read-only.html Order Deny,Allow Deny from all 1. kensanata Allow from hispeed.ch 1. Lukhas Allow from rincevent.net 1. planetoid Allow from hinet.net
Note how I use the ErrorDocument directive.
