Hi,

I host a complete mirror of the file archive of World of Spectrum (with their 
permission!). This archive is the one currently used by Marvin 
(http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.dejvice.rc.Marvin). If you're 
interested in access to this archive for unrealspeccyp as well, let me know  :-)

Greetings,
   Evert

Hello!)
What is the benefits of using your mirror?

1. Takes the load off of WoS
2. Clients won't end up in http://www.worldofspectrum.org/attacks.cgi by 
mistake ;-)
3. Perhaps easier to program/browse? Check out http://wos.meulie.net/pub/ for 
its contents/structure.  (NB: Do not implement wos.meulie.net in unrealspeccyp! 
If you're interested in using this archive/mirror, contact me for a dedicated 
FQDN. By keeping the FQDN private/lesser known, it won't be abused by 
leechers/crawlers/search engines)

Just checked your source.
How can i get a human readable programs/games/demos names?
Also project source code is open/free, so how we will keeping your secrets 
(FQDN/web address)?

Hmm, not sure on the human readable names issue. Don't know how Marvin handles 
that...
The FQDN wouldn't really have to remain secret. Just... lesser known  :-)

So, i need to parse WOS to get programs names/descriptions as before, but then 
replace ftp links returned from WOS to yours?
Is your mirror works through http? Can it report file size when downloading? 
Because WOS ftp don't and we see rotating circle instead of progress bar.
