New to the list, so pardon me if this is assumed knowledge, but what archive in particular are you referring to? Is this a compilation of site content, mail articles, or something else entirely?

You've sparked my interest either way; depending on the content, I'd probably be willing to host it myself. My site is still in production at the moment though, so for a publicly-available archive, it'd have to wait a bit. Just ballpark, about how much bandwidth do you think such a thing would ask for? Or, perhaps a better question: how many gopherphiles=97or people who might otherwise want this=97are still left on the Internet?

I also ask in regard to the suggested .torrent alternative, seeing as the original seeder may as well go ahead and host the files it if there aren't enough people around to share the weight.

Also, if there are any resources with which I should be familiar before posting to this group, would someone be so kind as to point me in their appropriate direction(s)? Thank you and I look forward to future discussions.
