Sorry, but I do NOT really appreciate that. First of all you should have asked 
for permission first. I'd have granted it for the historic cobalt files, but 
not for the rest.

Additionally: When you ripped off all the data through HTTP requests you taxed 
my server and my bandwith to the limits. I was just one step shy of 
permanently blocking your IP address from further access to my entire network. 
There are much better ways to create a mirror than what you used.
