Wow TUCOWS FTP site brings back nostalgic memories, but well it is good that god invented archive.org.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

Wow tucows, almost forgot the name, and it immediately brought back memories of my first internet experience via modem, waiting for downloads to finish 😀

We need to start writing bots to make it look like things are still in use by a majority I guess, works for scalpers so why not for something beneficial
😀

Let's see x amount of downloads per day, increase on holidays and weekends, decrease or increase?during work hours depending on time zone, p2p for distribution of scripts and randomizing workload (opt in of course)
And/or
P2p filesystem
