Thanks for the heads up. That _should_ be fixed once htdig finishes a
full reindexing (it shouldn't index any of the full archives anymore).

The machine's pipe has been throttled down, due to the fact that a number of

mailinglist archive and entire ftp directory of all RT releases ever,
sending us skyrocketing over our 1/4 mbit bandwidth allocation.
