Hi Andrei, We will very soon be experimenting with running a WWW/FTP here at the Your Move store. It will be connected via cable, and always on. Upload speed is capped, but it is fairly high, 100 KBytes/second. It will run Linux and have about 15 GB of free space, 600 MHz, and 128 MB Ram. I will store the archives in both compressed and uncompressed formats for searching. It will also frequently check for and download new messages and archives. I was going to write my own search, but wouldn't mind taking a look at what you have written.
