Would it be possible to add an index/landing page to  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/data_downloads/ such that it displays a summary of the available feeds?

Something like this:

Name
URL
Description
Size (KB)
Refresh Rate (hours)
Updated
Terrain type
...
13,000
24
2012-04-26T00:21:13Z
Combat Terrain type
...
???
24
2012-04-26T00:21:13Z

The fields would be as such:

Name: Friendly name
URL: Fully-specified hyperlink to teh goods. J
Description: Format-specific notes, i.e.:
  • It is in a txt flat-file format to save space.
  • The first row contains column headers.
  • It is column-delimited by a Vertical Bar, like this: |
  • It is row-delimited by <CR><LF>
  • TerrainTypeID in the flat-file links to the terraintype id in the datafile_terrain.xml file
  • TerrainCombatTypeID in the flat-file links to the terraincombattype id  in the datafile_terrain_combat.xml file
Size: Size of the (current) file in Kilobytes.
Refresh Rate: How often users should expect changes, i.e. “If it says 24 hours, don’t keep hitting this URL every 10 minutes…”
Updated: A timestamp of the last refresh in ISO 8601 format (at Zulu time in case of server migration to other timezones) J

This would consolidate the list of available feeds into a single location (rather than buried in the forum) and provide additional useful metadata (size, last updated, etc.).
