I hope you are doing well!
If my memory serves me correctly, pear command has a download all or
similar. I think a static page informing visitors that the site has
been taken down and a link to the files archives if anyone still
relies on specific package(s)/versions. That's the most important part
I suppose, as we all had these projects where something was insanely
outdated and needed to get it running again somehow first ;-).
Best,
