pds archive, changes in the archive Options

[JohnVV]

has anyone else noticed that the pds archives are WORSE than the used to be
the imaging node's ftp is dead
and the NEW and "?? improved ??" pds atlas search III is a bit of ( well something unspeekable that comes out the rear end of -- something-- )
http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/search/

there is NO zip archive download
and the wget script --- ??? it you can get it to work ????? gives you a script that is ZERO BITS in size

i do miss the 2 min wait of the light blue "over coloring" of the -- "please wait" of the atlas search II

now the FTP page for the PDS geoscience is still working
ftp://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/messenger/

but the image node is ........... someplace

now i AM trying to be -- shall we say colorful but not nasty

I was just browsing the new PDS release for MSL in the notebook, and it appears that all the DRCL and DRCX data products have now been white balanced arbitrarily it looks like. What happened to the original MSSS color corrected images? Why has the color changed?These are awful!

EDIT: So.. after downloading a few IMG's, they still appear to be the same color corrected products. Is this white balancing of the preview images another attempt to make the images more viewable to the public?

Hasn't the notebook always been this way? I'm sure somebody thought it was a good idea.
As data producers we have no control over how the notebook is implemented, so complain to Wash U.
