Maybe I missed something, but I'm noticing that OLGA and every mirror site
I knew of are no longer operating. Is this because the Harry Fox agency
won the case or did they settle out of court or what? Are there any more
mirror sites still up, maybe outside the US?

Thanks for the news.

The site at Harmony-Central is still up. Other than that, I don't Know what's
happening.

And Harmony Central (the site BTW is: http://www.harmony-central.com)
(the search at least), links to 4 mirrors, I know at least two
work....the other two were taking too long to connect so I got
impatient.

Isn't this a link to olga, or is it a clone?
http://www.guitarnotes.com/olga/
I found there what I was looking for.

This site is good - based in South Africa.

http://olga.zig.co.za

Hope this helps.
Regards.

You guys should really consider downloading the entire OLGA archive. It takes
awhile, but you can get all of the files up to about Apr. 98- I would be lost
without it. It's 32 .tgz files, about 40MB total if you don't extract it,
190MB, 39,000 files if you do. Let me know if you can't find the archive sites
and I'll post them.

Incidentally, the ALL_FILES .tgz files in the mirror below are corrupted, as
best I can tell.

Cheers

If you go to www.olga.net it says that olga has been fixed. What's the deal?

I haven't been able to connect to olga.net for months, I don't even try anymore.
Anything I get is from an overseas mirror.

Did you ever try www.harmony-central.com ?
I guess it doesn't longer offer updates but it has the
tabs 4 times on different servers which are all quite good.

Hi,

For the ones who wish to download the entire OLGA Archive try:

ftp.nijenrode.nl

/rec/music/guitar/nevada

Most of it is still there, and not corrupted. Be quick because there's a
readme stating that the site will be closed due to legal reasons.

That site is good, but seems to be quite dated (~1996?), although I only
checked a few directories. It is however, easier to download (3 files for
the tabs). The site ftp://ftp.groovin.org/pub/olga.old/ALL_files/ is up to
date as of Apr 98, but each subdirectory is a separate download.

Your choice
