Hi,

I agree with Maruan. :-(

Just out of curiosity, the origin source of those files is some public webserver, isn't it?

Hi,

this is unfortunate but as this is posing the risk of legal actions to the ASF 
but also to me hosting the site I think we should stop that.

\All,
We've gotten a handful of takedown requests recently. I had initially
envisioned public sharing of files as a key component of our server. We can
still use the files and offer read access to fellow file researchers. I'm
not sure I want to deal with further takedown requests.
As an intermediate step, we could ask robots not to crawl the data, but
that's not reliable.
So, in lieu of that, with heavy heart, I ask if it is time to close off
public access?
  WDYT?

          Best,

                    Tim
