Do you suppose you could get your webmasters to put in something so
that filenames don't get truncated to widths that are not stupidly
short?  (The apache default is 23 characters.  That server is running
Apache, or claims to be, as of about two minutes ago.)

I submitted this comment to your website feedback location a couple of
months ago, and it wasn't acted on.

You can set "IndexOptions +DescriptionWidth=*" on the download directory
and then people can actually see the entire filename for each listing.

That would make life so much more pleasant.
