Peter messaged me and said “pybaz is easy, I’ll send you the script I wrote to crawl an archive.”

He was right, and amidst claims of slacking off from my boss, I hacked up archie:

jaq@spacepants.org--2004/archie--main--0

I couldn’t think of a better name; Archie is what they used to call the FTP search engines of antiquity. Actually there was a commandline tool called veronica IIRC, but betty was never used, so perhaps… naw.

Don’t expect it to do much atm, and it’s pretty slow :-) Punch in your archive name in the box and twiddle your thumbs.

Update: It’s now called barry, given that “baz” is clearly his nickname. No relation to Sydney Swans star forward :-) Find him at:
