[FFML] Old archives question

[mccrowe]

Glad to see this much interest over the old archives. Also added by year,
but I'm not going to re-zip them by month, that's a bit much. :)

dropbox.com/sh/cxxg0cx6zu9x7yv/AABfLOiYLFezW27c-KAA5FJXa?dl=0

Mind you, downloading all the years individually will actually end up
larger than downloading the whole thing at once.
