It is all one server. However: there's not a lot of ftp traffic,
and I suspect most of that is for the mirrors. I'll have to research
that, and contact mirroring sites, suggesting that they update to point
to my site.
On my own site, I see that web traffic is up (I hadn't looked for
quite a while, it's doubled over the past year years), but ftp traffic
is negligible (according to the logs, anyway). I used to see a fair
amount of traffic from packagers, getting patches. Now I guess they
just download the current tarball and dump it in git...
I scripted most of the uploads for my site over the past few years,
and will fit the consolidated lynx page into that scheme. That means
that the http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html page will be pared down
to eliminate the long (generated) list of patches (people who want old
patches _will_ have to go to the ftp area, or its web-mirror).
