I like how Bill Wurtz does it at `https://billwurtz.com`. Dump everything on a server and list things manually in html.

Or you could let your webserver deal with the directory listing. Caddy's looks nice, is customisable too. Can't get simpler than that!

Bonus if also add a .torrent with the same as webseeds: Can make easier for visitor to grab in bulk and makes a way to keep sharing in further future. No strict need to run torrent client to act as webseed - just point at http url.

it's taking a bit longer than expected; as it is a learning curve. I am having fun learning this all. Thank you.

The site is fairly easy to transverse. Plus i can take my time and let it all sink in to internalize the various inputs and things that i will need. So far this is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you.

so after a week of recovery; i resumed this morning and suddenly everything just stopped functioning properly via the localhost. I tried starting over and no avail. the initial curl was frozen, and the localhost site just went in an everlasting loop of loading.
