Here's the stats:
Pygmy06 download about 9.9 Mb now uses 22.8 Mb - a lot of empty files.
Dragon76 download about 10.3 Mb now uses 17.5 Mb. Ditto.
The Pygmy07 download is specified @ 9.9Mb but I've only managed to get
the first floppy so far. In the daytime it's creeping slow, and at night
I can't get into the site. :((

I tried it with Dragon76 and no luck. It needs a later libc version.
The newer version may be in the new Pygmy - we'll see.

I have been using 10+ year old 5 1/4 floppies without problem but it
might depend on the original quality.
