I
can't speak to the first paragraph below, but can to the
second.
-0.zip
- contains the zipped UTF8 text file for a given etext number, e.g.
56843-0.txt. "-8" is used for ISO-8859/Latin1 text files, while no
designator is used for ASCII text files, e.g. 12345.txt
-h.zip
- contains the zipped HTML file and its accompanying /images folder, if there is
one. To use 56843 as an example, it contains the entire contents of the
folder 56843-h.
The
epub and kindle files are auto-created from the underlying posted files (in http://www.gutenberg.org/files/56843/)
at the time of posting. They're stored elsewhere and are auto-regenerated
should the posted files be corrected. The posted HTML file is used as the
source; if there's no HTML file, the text file is used. Sometimes
only a text file is submitted to PG--in such cases, an HTML file is
auto-generated.

Hello, I just joined this list but I’m interested in this
current thread. What is the goal of moving to these static HTML pages /
directories? Is it to eliminate the processing time necessary to
generate these files with the current back-end processing? Seems you
will be (possibly) using more disk space – a trade-off which may be worth it,
I’m not arguing against it – to save CPU time?
I need to understand
more - What is currently stored for each book? Is it stored in all of the
formats at http://aleph.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/56843/
or are those created at the time someone requests them?
In https://www.gutenberg.org/files/56843/
what’s the difference between the -0 zip and the –h zip?
