I'll add a me to to the question (of course, I haven't even tried).

IIRC People _have_ gotten YDL4 to work on OldWorld machines, and I
believe one or two of them may have posted the procedure somewhere
(not here, otherwise I would've kept & flagged it ;-).

I was going to suggest that you give Ubuntu a try if you wanted to use
the newer softwares but it seems you already did that :)

Others, please correct me if I'm wrong: I'm getting the feeling that
YDL 4 isn't working that smoothly on a lot of hardware. At the moment
I've got a nicely functioning YDL 3.0.1-based server on a G3 that's
working without too many hitches.

The one problem I do have is that I cannot get Windows NT to connect
to the WebDAV (in Apache 2.0/httpd) server under YDL 3.0.1 BUT I can
connect to the same WebDAV server from a remote OS X 10.3 machine
(Finder).

To make things even more quirky, if I switch to using OS X 10.3 as the
WebDAV server (Apache 1.3) I _CAN_ connect using the Windows NT
server, so there's something that's changed between Apache 1.3 and
Apache 2.0 that prevents Win NT from connecting (extra security added
on connection?)....

My solution (when I know I want to transfer files from
home-to-work-to-home) is to leave my OS X 10.3 machine on and change
port :80 forwarding to that machine instead of the YDL server (that
shuts wdown webserver but what can you do ;) (I suppose I could
install Apache 1.3 on YDL 3 but the comments on the web sugges that's
quite an involved process).
