I guess I misunderstood, I thought there was something you could do?

It has been a year or two since I last visited back2roots but I remember wishing I could buy the website contents on CD/DVD for when something like this finally happened.

Damnit. Just when I was getting back into the Amiga..

On another note, I do have some free webspace I am willing to convert to an Amiga software Archive. If you are interested, send me a list of games (and who made them!), so I can perhaps **try** to get permission to host them. Of course, whilst my collection is extensive, they are not all, errr, original versions. I might need some help!

As for all the negativity regarding websites/archives that shut down, I think the best way to circumvent this is to have a community based site.

Everything seems to be available there on FTP.

They seem be reorganizing slowly (and the partial access to games via FTP isn't there atm).

You did read back2roots AUP, right?

Its not that, loks like downloads not enabled yet, there is an explanation to why the site has been down on the site

Don't use bots, if their website keeps getting hammered they will close it.

ADF downloads seems to be finally back as well.  :-D
I hope more people donate this time..
People using bots was also one of the main theories as to why they shutdown in the first place, so i hope people stop being that selfish. They should implement some quota per day for each host or something..

Perhaps they need more mirrors too! How much storage space is needed?
