I don't archive binaries, and when something isn't in the archive the 
request gets redirected to the original server....

... which is dead.

Question is, should I start archiving binaries too? Pros? Cons? Like I 
said before, I wasn't going to archive anything, I was just doing a 
search engine - and search engines don't index binaries.

And yes, the URLs look ugly - the md5sum in the url was just a temporary 
fix...
