Looks like the amirepo.net interface. Well done nicomen!

It's still out of date though... hopefully regular updates are coming too.

yeah, i figured they were working on it.
i've noticed, however, that to get the lha file you have to click on the readme link and from that page there's the right link to the archive. not that this is a problem, i really like the layout of the readme page and the listing of what's inside, etc.

very nice!

Yes.. but "up" means now accepting updates, and actually "active" again.

I'm not 100% certain if it's updating now, we'll see in the next couple of days I suppose. The upload form isn't finished yet, so many ftp uploads are currently working.

This is a good sign that things are moving.  There are still a ton of uploads sitting on the mirrors waiting to be sorted and distributed (distribution/mirroring is listed in the TODO).

when I click on the file arachive I get this:

File Not found  
The requested URL /pub/aminet/misc/imdb/imdbDiff040910.lha was not found on this server.

if i click on the readme i get the nice page which has a link to the archive.

i know they aren't finished with this. i wasn't complaining  :-D

and i like the ability to set a default aminet location. nice!

really, very nice job.

I second that. A nice job indeed. It looks very professional. I'm thinking of sending some more of my mangled pinup wallpapers when they get the upload page going.

@cecelia

I had the same problem until I selected main.aminet.net as my mirror.  Perhaps the other mirrors don't have the files yet?

I was on it last night (a welcome sight) but it crashed with an error when I tried to use the search. More work needed, but it's good to see it back online.

Aminet kept me sane at university (from 92-95), and truly is a fantastic resource.
