Update:

Changes to server directory listings

Several changes have been made to the directory listings on Mac Hut:

* The filename column now adjusts its width to the filenames in the directory you are browsing.

* If a directory has sub-directories, those will now be listed first, before individual files.

* All files are now listed alphabetically, ascending.

Descriptions!

I have started the very long and slow process of adding descriptions to every file. You will see descriptions in the 'Descriptions' column.

A directory with descriptions:

http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut/files/util/system/'>http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut/files/util/system/

Upload your files

You can now upload your own files to Mac Hut. Connect to http://www.valleyofthelights.com with username 'upload' and no password via an FTP client.

Enjoy! 😎

At this very moment in the space-time continuum, Fetch 5.3 accuses your site of inaccessibility. So? Or no?

Fetch lies - I'm using the FTP right now, and just tested the upload account, works fine.

Make sure you are using:

Server: www.valleyofthelights.com

User: upload

no password.

I was doing that, and now I yam doing that, I yam, I yam, and the upload is proceeding even as we speak, albeit at glacial speed.

Just remember to be sure you set your FTP client to binary mode before you send. I accidentally left mine in "auto" mode and it transfered my files as text files, which of course corrupted them. I had to redo my uploads in binary mode to get them to work!

Thank you to those who have been uploading files.

Public mirror

Is anyone willing to host a public mirror of Mac Hut? Ideally, the host needs to have a good connection (hopefully with no bandwidth limits), Apache, and at least 5GB storage. PM or e-mail me if you are able to help.

Statistics

Here's some stats:

286 unique visitors in February, 478 visits, 30125 hits, 6.95 GB downloaded.

The most popular file is "SoftWindows 1.0.2.sit" with 23 downloads.

There have been 12 hits from AmigaOS users!

The first mirror of Mac Hut is now online:

http://machut.uberhost.dyndns.org/

Use it if the official site happens to be down, or is really slow.

Pretty sweet, Wacky !

I've added MacHut to the list of **Free "System 6" SoftWare**

Any sign of MacTerminal 2, eg the one that uses the Communications Toolbox?

I haven't seen that file on machut or my local mirrors of quite a bunch of macintosh web/ftp sites. Does it exist?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roughly 35 kbps and then dropped to 7 kbps.

It's nice that people run their own servers from home, but the connection speed leaves much to be desired. :-/

Posted by: joshc on 2009-04-10 09:35:50
The servers are purposely throttled, as these are run on home connections.

Posted by: Dog Cow on 2009-04-10 09:37:03
Well, that confirms what I had suspected. :-/

Posted by: tecneeq on 2009-04-30 11:44:51
I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds.

However, a slow download is better than none at all. BTW, if you need faster access because you want to set up a mirror, i can make that happen. I hang around in #68kmla and #machut on Freenode.

Mac Hut seems pretty speedy to me... I can get 3.5, even 4kbps download speeds! But i guess its only because i'm on dialup...

Just to let everyone know, the server is back up and its now hosted on OS X instead of Vista.

It was hosted on Vista?! You've got a lot of nerve. > 🙁

er... i get:

Safari can’t open the page.

Safari can’t open the page “http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.

Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-06-10 17:56:27
From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. 😉

*crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed intarwebs*
