    Hello Webmaster of Music Sacra,
    Do you know that the directory for PDFs is not browseable anymore? Is it in purpose?

    Hi, Jacques!

    Yes, I did prevent browsing of the directory; I've been trying to look for ways to reduce the burden on our web server from robot systems on the internet that pointlessly copy everything they see. I'm not sure that it's making much difference, though.

    Would a robots.txt help, or are these malicious bots? Or would that throw off other things?

    Maybe there could be some kind of captcha before viewing the files there?

    I've removed the restriction about browsing this directory; if you're looking for something particular, of course, feel free to ask.
    Thanked by 1Ben
