Hmm... Let me make something clear to you: the files available via ftp from xanth are provided as a courtesy. You don't pay me for those files. Thus, I'm under no obligation to you to present those files in a particular format. The complaints address for xanth is clearly listed in the /README. Had you contacted me directly (or had your posting been less aggressive), I would have been willing to work something out... Have you tried using /tmp or /usr/tmp on your machine? They should be quota-less... ...tad (I should point out that I have not received via mail any complaints about the presentation of the badge demos on xanth...)
