content: Quote from: coromonadalix on October 12, 2023, 09:48:23 amLinks from his articles to his docs repo, like the manuals inthis Fluke 742A articlework fine for me. It's just that you can't browse the folders anymore because people where bulk downloading many gigabytes of data, taking up all the bandwidth. But links work fine for me.

content: Tried to upload a manual (Varian V4700A) yesterday, but neither the app, or standard ftp worked. Also tried to send an email, but error returned on that as well. It's a valuable resource, used often here, so are there any mirrors for the site ?...Chris

content: Quote from: coromonadalix on October 12, 2023, 09:48:23 amThere are several ways to get data from the Xdevs archive:1. Internet Archivehttps://web.archive.org/web/20230715223647/https://xdevs.com/doc/2. Mirrorhttps://xdevs.mymsk.cloud/doc/P.S. I am also very annoyed by the practice of posting photos on third-party resources. Many old topics have already been irretrievably lostPerhaps it is worth banning this or making the forum copy them for itself.

content: Quote from: Uunoctium on May 29, 2024, 05:52:16 pmThe manual repository appears to be down and returns an error: "Error: Target directory does not exist."The rest of the site seems functional though. I sent an email to KO4BB but haven't heard back for a few days. I hope it's just the archive hitting it's limit for the month and not something more serious.Manual archive is alive again.
