I notice you have replaced the relative links
   <a href="files/something.here"> 
with absolute links
   <a href="http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/files/something.here">

But this is maybe not such a good idea, since the web site is mirrored.
For instance, people can use the http://gnuplot.info  site even if
SourceForge is unavailable.  But if you mirror the absolute links, then
the mirror site is no longer self-contained.

I really don't want to take on the job of web site maintenance,
so I'm just offering this as a comment.
