You don't say?

I personally supplied more than half the files in that archive myself, which I had downloaded from the site myself using a custom script I wrote to deal with that site's... issues, and the other half were downloaded by the uploader within, I believe he said, the weeks before he uploaded it using similar methods. I validated his half using a different script and grabbed anything else his missed that I didn't already have. It was a "fresh" mirror of everything that could be crawled from the public web site, and some unliked stuff that could be extrapolated too. This is his version of the archive, and is slightly less complete than my own. 

 JH> what i uploaded is more reliable. i had actual access to the bbsfiles
 JH> archive. like his actual files, not just stuff taken from the website.

That's fair. I didn't have any special access beyond what was public and I assume the uploader didn't either since there was nothing I couldn't validate in his archive. Link to your upload?
