speaking of files, a guy posted an attempt at grabbing all of
archives.thebbs.org.  with just looking a little i see it's missing some that are on the site now.

anyways, as i said before whats good about that site is you can list the descriptions and download the files.

i uploaded it to vert.

bbsarchi.rar A  1.8G This archive claims to be a mirror of the archives.thebbs.
                     there are a lot of files, but it may not be the entire arc

it's in the main/bbs directory. you can get it via ftp
