I just did an rsync into the downloads directory (instead of the binaries 
subdirectory) and it deleted all the files that didn't belong to root!

Sorry!  Trying to fix it now from archive.org...

(And _this_ is why real operating systems put each user in a different group 
by default.  Those files belonged to aldot and not me; the subdirectory I was 
trying to rsync into was the only one belonging to me.  But the OS image puts 
us all in the same _group_...)
