I just noticed that I haven't received any files since Jul 14. Does anyone know who was responsible for getting the images into fidonet? Would love to see this resumed. The FILE.DIZ suggests something to do with filegate.

Thanks,

I bit of research shows it seems to have originated at Castle Rock BBS and that seems to have been down for a while.

I just searched your BBS for WW230714.ZIP which is the last weather file I received and I don't see it.

Same here.

Dan at Castle Rock BBS hatches those files, along with the MODIS and EPOD files.

I think his fido node suffered a power failure of some sort, a power spike I think.

I suspect he'll have things back up and running when he has the time and resources, not sure when though.
