Disabled FTP

I've disabled ftp access here. That was partly because ftp security has generally been spotty but mostly because I'm tired of people just downloading EVERYTHING they can find. There's no reasonable excuse for that; it just sucks down my bandwidth and adds to my monthly costs.

That doesn't mean you won't be able to get files you need. First, for a few important things, I've modified the pages that reference them so that you can do an http download. For everything else, you should see a notice at the top of any page with an internal ftp link:

We no longer offer ftp downloads. If there is a file you need referenced here, please contact me by email and I will get it to you.

Simple enough - maybe not instant, but simple. If I see a large number of requests for certain files, I'll make those available with http links for future needs.

I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much. It's too bad that the stupid and senseless actions of some have forced me to this, but that's just reality, right?
