does that mean I can't download 9atom now?
(the web page www.9atom.org is up, but going to 386 iso
[ftp.9atom.org] doesn't work)

Thanks

I confess I don't understand. Is there a difference in the software,
or what do you mean?

Thanks

I wonder what the difference is between
9atom.iso.bz2
and
+9atom.iso.bz2

And what is kernel.mkfs.bz2?

Thanks
Ruda

I think one is more recent than the other.

This is a kfs archive of /sys/src/9.

the one with + seems to be always (when it exists) smaller by about
2 MB ...

Hi David,

I am starting to feel like an idiot again.
What I can find there seems to have 0 bytes.
(see the screenshot)
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

These are the images from today, but the ftp.9atom.org
server is currently down. You have to look in an older
directory.

ok :)
but the most recent (nonzero) one is then more then half a year old,

9atom-2014-07-08

What is the logic about when a image is taken?
I guess there must have been changes in the meanwhile, or
am I wrong and you take an image always when the file on 9atom.org changes?
If there have been changes, and if I use this (older) image, will I be able
to somehow get in sync with 9atom later on?

Thanks
Ruda

The image is automatically downloaded every day, then
it is deleted if the content is identical to the last image.
