It appears project gutenberg is no longer creating ASCII encoded ebooks.

The catalog updates for the last long while have only been removing ASCII encoded ebooks from their files cache. It appears they're now not releasing their text formatted books as ASCII but as UTF-8. UTF-8 encoding isn't a problem in itself, but the filenames are different, so the logic needs to be reworked.

For example:
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/9897/9897.txt - ASCII
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1089/1089-0.txt - UTF-8

The txt filename contains -0 to signify UTF-8, from what I can gather.

To allow for both ASCII and UTF-8 book filenames, catalog.bash should store the book filename in the catalog, rather than the ebook number. Or, perhaps a CSV format with ebook number first, and filename second. This will allow for quote.go to still easily build the mirror cache link path, as well as the filename to download for both ASCII and UTF-8.
