I finally got to the file area (I had to set a password) and attempted to
download some files. I downloaded GismuSyn10.zip and got a file 1/10 as big
as it should have been, which showed up blank in both ark and karchiveur. Here
is what I got for thsrs.tex:

var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";",len);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(len,end));
}

function Set_Cookie(name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) {
path = "/";

document.cookie = name + "=" +escape(value) +

}

var today = new Date();
var expires = new Date(today.getTime() + (56 * 86400000));

function set() {
Set_Cookie("userid",rot13(document.logonForm.userid.value),expires);
Set_Cookie("password",rot13(document.logonForm.password.value),expires);

function get() {
document.logonForm.userid.value = rot13(Get_Cookie("userid"));

}
// make sure old_location has a value
old_location = "";
