[FFML] Old archives question

[Hone Melgren]

I too wouldn't mind seeing them up on Dropbox as well. I do have my own
archives but due to computer issues right now couldn't tell you how far
back they are or even how complete they are. Definitely not as far back as
1995.

Can I make the suggestion that if you do upload them that you do archives
by year or even month if possible ? That way if people want to search
through a particular years FFML listings they only have to download that
particular year instead of the entire 245 MB archive at once. May also save
on bandwidth.

Just a suggestion as I come from a country with bandwidth caps :)
