[NTLK] UNNA mirrors I have collected over the years

[Alex Santos]

Hello, I haven’t been active with my Newton for some time, perhaps creeping up on 10 years but I wanted to make a an observation after having read a few messages.

I see that UNNA appears to be down but someone posted a mirror, unnamed.applenewton.co.uk. The mirror got me thinking … as the data hoard that I am, I quickly pulled up Disk Tracker and found that on Sep 24 2006 I mirrored all of UNNA as it appeared during those days it took me to download it and have it stored. In fact I have a few iterations.

The Sept 24 ’06 mirror is 1.8GB and contains the following. Only the first four items are files, the rest being directories. It’s on disc 679

Yet another one but the creation date is not listed in the database, it’s 2.0GB. It’s on disc 1258.

I have yet another one. No date but I see that the main record for this one was modified on 9/8/18

In any event, I don’t believe this really matters but if it does I can make it available on my CrushFTP server for whoever might need it, particularly the owner of UNNA.

I still have more UNNA copies, some are .warc file (web archive files)

It seems the earliest item is a 136MB UNNA ‘mirror’ and in here the most significant directory is called “files” at Newton/Newton Packages/Newton Software - mirrors/mirrors.unna.org/ftp.bitcon.no/pub/pdacentral/newton/files and this “files” folder has 2862 items.

Any thoughts or comments?
