Greetings from sunny Maui!
My experiment totally hosting 24 web sites at my house using my new fiber optic Internet connection was a bit of a learning experience. It turns out that my fiber optic service from Hawaiian Telcom is very reliable outbound, but only about 90 to 95% reliable inbound. I'm still hosting the eBible.org web site at home, but using the free Cloudflare CDN service connected via an outbound tunnel. That seems to be much more stable. It only works for http and https, though. For now, ftp.eBible.org is served from a
totally different (and slower) server. That means that even though connecting to the ftp repository at eBible.org actually worked for a long time, it now does not. FTP connections must go to ftp.eBible.org, and https connections must go to eBible.org. That should match the master repository listing. If it doesn't, please make it so. As I keep saying, the main eBible.org repository has much better bandwidth and can sustain many more connections than the ftp repository. I'm still supporting the ftp repository
for now, but all new and updated Sword apps should definitely use https://eBible.org/sword/ instead.
