I don't think Ibiblio is a strong SEO for FreeDOS topics, despite our having the FreeDOS files archive hosted there. (Likely this is because much of Ibiblio [whether or not it is FreeDOS] is just a directory listing of files, which doesn't rank very highly for SEO.) If you search for anything "freedos" you'll first get the FreeDOS website, the FreeDOS wiki, Wikipedia, and then a bunch of article websites like opensource.com or arstechnica. > Actually you could use descript.ion or similar metadata to > have the file name "kernelx.zip" (x = binary, s = source, > if you like to make that distinction) or "kernel.zip" and > add the other information to the descript.ion which makes > it visible for enhanced versions of DIR.

So providing a descript.ion file on the server doesn't actually help the user, who just wants to download a zip file.
