The sheer amount of stuff there. My god that appears to be everything that would normally be in the many broken links on there website.
This is the first time I've seen that FTP server working correctly. I found it while hunting for the 30.82 detonator drivers. That not just drivers
though I'm seeing quakecon stuff, demos, render slides. The amount of data here is massive. I'm even seeing OEM specific drivers and some of the
first ever RIVA drivers.

No telling how long it will be available and correctly functioning. I think we should grab it, make a RAR file, and throw it onto vogons drivers.
My nets too slow or id archive it myself. Anybody want to help grab everything while its there.

I'm pulling it now. My 100Mbps line should make short work of it.

I'll grab it took as soon as I can. Not in front of a machine that can hold it all right now.

Alright. Be careful not to hammer the server to death.

There are downloads scattered through out all the folders along with videos and images that would likely be of interest. I'd recommend grabbing as much as you can.

There's an IRC at https://webchat.freenode.net/ under channel NVIDIA101

Lets coordinate in real time there. Use your vogons username as ID so I know who you are.

This address was working for a long time now, I've discovered it months ago.
Weird they still hadn't patched it up 😀

I did a "dir /s" listing. Is there some better way to make one that is more readable?

I also did a Tree listing

You can try PowerShell:

gci -recurse | select fullname | export-csv output.csv

Remove | select fullname if you want all the details

What is there to patch?

Working as intended. 😘

...

On a side note, I wouldn't mind hosting FTP stuff for distribution, if it wasn't a pain in the rear end. Not even worth it for me unless it's only over a secure local network. 😢
