Speak for yourself!  :)

If you are running Unix, you can create your own list of recent
uploads from the INDEX file.

The following set of commands will give you the most recent ten
uploads to cica.  (This doesn't include those files in the "uploads"
directory since we don't catalog them into the INDEX file until
they've been placed in the proper location.)

grep -v \* INDEX | sed -e 's/\n//' | awk '{print $2, $1}' | sort -rn | head -10

Ugly, eh?

I don't think posting this would be a benefit to anyone.  Those with
ftp access normally get a copy of the INDEX on a daily basis anyway.
