not entirely back, but sort of?

hey all! thank you so much for your patience. the audiofic archive is open again!

however, that doesn't mean we've managed to restore most of the files yet. it means that the restoration process was taking so long that it didn't make sense to keep things closed up anymore while we work, since the amazing archivists have been steadily adding new items while i tried to get my head around the old stuff. <3

right now you are going to run into a TON of 404 not found errors on the download links. i apologize for that! it is temporary in most cases, and i am optimistic that anything still missing once the backups are restored can be crowdsourced.

do you have a bunch of podfic saved locally? would you like to help our archivists out? give us a holler to let us know what you have, and we will gratefully take copies off your hands - if you have things we also have as queued backup files, there's no harm in having two copies, and if you have something we're missing, then - hooray!

thank you again, and sorry for the long silence! life was podblocking me. >:(

Hey, I mentioned this in kitsuneheart's recent post, but if ppl host with me, it's be pretty easy/fast for me to SSH the files over, if the files are still being hosted on linux server? I don't know if I've fallen off the list of active archivers, since I was mostly doing front end clean up? But when I tried to log in with the credentials I've always used it didn't work? So maybe I missed an update?

Anyway, if I could get shell access to the server SSH is waaaayyyyyy faster since it removes the step of downloading it locally, then uploading it to the new site, we could just transfer from one server to the other.
