Hmm, I wouldn't want that, plainly because it's too much work. Otherwise I
think it's a good idea.

Now, the small problem then is who will look over that and maintain
it. You already volunteered about initially creating such a structure, and
maybe it's easy for me to maintain it.

(Hint: there is 90+gb stuff not yet sorted in, too :)

Doh', indeed, I forgot to recreate it. It should be updated by now, sorry
for the delay (I was attending LinuxTag).

/anime/eps etc. suffices, i..e I do not need the http://*.plan9.de prefix.

Sure, there is no need to hurry. I am happy enought hat somebody actually
does it.

Yeah :)

Well, my actual goal is to provide an archive, as it's often difficult
to get old files on p2p networks. Right now I have a mixture of IMHO
not-so-good series and very good series (sometimes very old).

Well, if they are, then all manufacturers deliver high-qwuality IDE
drives, as I have disks form IBM/Hitachi, WD, Seagate, Maxtor, Fujitsu. On
the other hand, I am quite good at re-using slightly broken harddisks (one
of the disks, when written to, sometimes needs 2-3 tries until it can be
read back).

Hrm. I'll include that in the next version of the index generator.
