AFAIK, the archie databases are not updated any longer. The same
functionality is now provided by ftpsearch (which AFAIK is what Columbo
FTP uses).

OK. Do you already know that you won't manage to update it in time or do
you want us to "wait and see"? If you know that you won't manage to
update it before August/September, we can move it right away.

If you want, I can also help you updating it so that we don't have to
move it. Just let me know what you want to do yourself.
