No worries reinob.
I was expecting alot of standard tried-and-true programs.
In the end what worked easily and fluidly was Bareftp.
I only have the greatest of respect for it now.
very impressed...going to make it my new no.1...

Yeah...hear you loud and clear on the "where" to put it up.
...The only souls who need or want (for that matter) these files have to be pretty quick on the uptake ...and that pretty much is only just us bunch.

I think it boils down to liability for our home here and them putting questionable proprietary goods up. It may be frowned on..but the wayback has our accessible files (for the most part) .
I think it is about being wise enough not to make a big show of it and irritate those with the clout.
It isn't like we are distributing anything to make a dollar or subvert or undermine anyone or anything.
It may draw frowns...possibly....
but the reality is...
1- we are simply trying to maintain on our own ...our devices, platforms and software from eroding away from underneath us from lack of said maintenance ...
2- we are trying to make software development ((for an abandoned and (considered by the rest of the world as an) obsolete device line and platforms)) as up to date, problem-free and easy for new and old members alike to work with.
3- yes it is possible we could incur the wrath on some entity and lawyers come swooping in with orders to cease and desist. A long time gone now I believed that possible.....perhaps it still is...but I do have my doubts as to the sanity of such a move. for it would make whosoever did issue such cease and desist orders look very very very badly in the public light ...and bad press is not something any big organization wishes. Especially a giant beating up a small community of (mostly) harmless gadgeteers like us. And of course such news would circulate like wildfire...very quickly. It would definitely make for good press for us, public sympathy, increased registration most likely ...as well as other benefits. We aren't really a smart choice to take on... and expect that it wouldn't misfire...in some way negatively for that entity.
We have no offshore accounts full of plunder to take...
We have no incredible applications that can cure cancer, overthrow 3rd world dictatorships with or have created something coveted by some octocore smartphone designer or exec. for apple or google (none of those yet anyway) ...we just like to fiddle with our favourite devices.
Naw ..if anything we should get corporate and government funding for what we are doing
In fact... concerning ...http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=95438
I think we shouldn't be asking our new step-dad (Microsoft) just for the keys to the car (releasing the goods) but as well we should ask for an allowance

All fun aside ...
and all justification of stance and nobility of cause...
All that being said...I don't believe in tempting fate or providence by putting up billboards of our successes...and shooting off fireworks in celebrations...
(At least until proprietary issues are resolved (if ever) ...that is..)
Until that day of glorious salvation ...I think being a (relatively) quiet ...wee small mouse in the granary is a good idea Reinob.
