I have a suggestion that would be a nice addition to the archives. Go through and replace external download links (like those pointing at file planet) with local files, then update the zips.
That would make the archives even more self contained and resilient in the face of the ever aging Internet. Of course, that would require more bandwidth and storage usage for the sites hosting the archives, but it would be nice.
What brought this to mind was that I've been getting back into the scene and looking to download some classic bits of history, only to get redirected from the sweet archives, to the hated fileplanet. (For some reason, I just hate Fileplanet, perhaps I'm a weirdo.)
