Haha cute... Now the ftp links are all http. I guess that's cool. http is generally better... seems like you could just add a type flag to the server entry and change the protocol that way. or write a regexp that checks for /^ftp/ and change the protocol that way (which is a hack)
I guess it doesn't matter really but it might be misleading for people that copy and paste the link into a ftp program. This way you won't have to remove the ftp only links either. <li><a href="http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/mysql- server_3.22.32-6.deb">ftp.debian.org/debian</a> <li><a href="http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/my sql-server_3.22.32-6.deb">http.us.debian.org/debian</a> <li><a href="http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/mys ql-server_3.22.32-6.deb">ftp.us.debian.org/debian</a> should be: <li><a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/mysql-s erver_3.22.32-6.deb">ftp.debian.org/debian</a> <li><a href="http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/my sql-server_3.22.32-6.deb">http.us.debian.org/debian</a> <li><a href="ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/misc/mysq l-server_3.22.32-6.deb">ftp.us.debian.org/debian</a> -Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "James A.
