[dnswl-users] dnswl.org Announcement: Discontinuation of HTTP download


Hello users of dnswl.org data,

Currently, over 95% of our web-traffic is for the regular download of
dnswl.org-data files from http://www.dnswl.org/data/.

This is of course a great waste of resources. Considering the fact that
our data changes only slowly it does not make sense to download a full
copy every couple of hours.

We will therefore remove the data files for regular download via HTTP.
Access via rsync is available as an alternative (see
http://www.dnswl.org/tech#rsync).

As of today, only the directory index is made invisible; as of the
beginning of April 2008, download via HTTP will cease to work, and access
to these files will be redirected to an explanation page.

If you do download our data files via HTTP, please switch to rsync soon.

Regards,
-- Matthias, for dnswl.org
