- No, I believe that what Timo is trying to say is that he insures that the
- files that are distributed from his site are:
-
- 1. Free from viruses and the like.
- 2. Legally suppossed to be there.
-
- Thus, he won't allow software that hasn't been checked out to be distributed.
-
- Now, keep in mind that the /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory is never checked.
- Does this make it bad? No, of course not, but this now places the entire
- burden of checking out the software on you.
-
- Good luck...
