Hi Chuck,
   It's still there and updated every day.  You just can't browse it :-(
   I had some problems with people over in russia doing a recursive wget
on the entire time machine.  My uplink isn't very big, so it ran
constantly for days (causing some horrible performance lags on my side)
before I decided I had to force the connection and disable all listing
functions.
   So, you can't 'ls' the directories anymore.  But, if you know the
layout of the repository (full file path) you can certainly get the files
themselves.
   The CTM was originally setup to be used by the Cygwin Setup program.
Since the setup.ini has the file paths it can get the files without any
problems.
