I've come across this problem before; unfortunately, it's difficult to stop as, if people want to put up details of every last beta, they'll find a way of doing it (Opera, at the moment, is in the same position, with the new betas announced on a public newsgroup, opera.beta, and that information being passed on elsewhere). I suppose a solution _might_ be to password-protect the ftp directory but not change the password every time there's a new beta (otherwise it's more trouble than it's worth); people might take that as a hint that the betas are not to be made generally available. > Question is - how they (betanews) know about new betas? They subscribe to this list. All sorts of lurkers hide in the woodwork of mailing lists ...
