scan site
Kevin Loch
Ok, since I have received the first submission,
my instruction scan site is now up at:
It is simple/non-sexy by design so no complaints
about that please. If you have scans and would like them
to be available on this site, email me:
kl...@NOSPMkl.net
and of course remove the capital letters in the
address before sending...
I know there are a number of scans on various sites
already, but I'm not going to leech those without
an email from the webmaster. If you want
scans from other sites to be available on this site,
contact the other webmaster and have them send me
email and I would be happy to put them up.
Please see the README on the site for leagal/disclamer
and other info.

Wouldn't it be great to have all the scans out there be in one place. I
was glad to give my instruction scans a new home and I'd encourage the rest
of you guys with limited space to let Kevin host your scans.
Thanks Kevin!

What is the possibility of uploading zip files of the scans as well? I live
in the UK where I still have to pay for my phone calls, and also
trans-atlantic bandwidth at times can be a **bit** slow!!

If you save the scans as jpg's zip compression won't do you much good.

Yes, silly me, I forgot that point. However, the 88 or so JPG's for 8888,
which I would love to take a look at, would take a very long time, clicking
each one, waiting to download, clicking next one, waiting to download, etc.
Unless you could click on the one big mega megabyte file, go watch tv or
read a book waiting for the one or 2 or 3 files to download. Unless there is
someway to automate the task(I am still a little new to internet stuff).

Look around for info about a program called Teleport Pro or, if you
have a unix shell account, one calle wget. Both can replicate websites.
There are a lot of programs that will do that, but those are the only two
I have used.

There's no real way to automate, but you can download multiple things at a
time. You just click on something to download and wait on the window where
you select a file name. At that point, you're not taking any bandwidth.
Then, when you have 20 or so windows open like that, go through and click ok
on all of them. It's a bit chaotic, but it works. Oh, and if you take too
long, the windows start timing out. This should let you do it in a few
batches. If it's an FTP site, you can type prompt to turn off interactive
mode, then type "mget *" That should get them all automatically. Don't for
get "bin" for binary mode! You may be able to use somekind of GUI FTP client
to get at the pictures. That may work better, but the server must allow
anonymous ftp.

Hint: point not thy site-slurper at AucZilla.
I got to 25MB before my ISP decided I'd been online too long (they bump
at 3 hours if there are less than 10% free lines)

Hrmmm. I never tried to do that. I just saved the html files with
the actual lots on them, mainly so I would have a local reference
to help me name my own lots.

Ick, slow transfer speed. Even at home I think I'd do 25mb in
about 40 minutes or less. Guess pulling it across the pond
slows things down a bit. :/

Hihi, My computer takes less than 15 minutes for 25Mb. But that's the gain
from a cable-tv-connection. I even downloaded Pause in less than an hour,
right before he went off-line. But than came Todd with his offer. Oh well,
does anyone wants to have a complete pause-magazine? Just 78 Mb....

I am trying it out as a "channel" and it seems to be working. Thanks for all
of the ideas. I will searchfor and download those programs suggested, and
try them out for downloading some of the other technic instructions.
Lego group, if you are reading, as you no doubt have copies of all of your
old instructions and idea books, why don't you get scanning and uploading!!

Wow, do people still use arc? I remember using it eons ago on my
Fidonet board. How about lha? :)
Richard
50 minutes, the 1st 39 documents, and it stopped mysteriously. Try again
later I suppose.

A zip file of a jpg is just as large since the jpg file is already
compressed. The only advantage, if any, is that all the scans for a single
model could be put in one zip file for a single download.

You got it. That's why I'll only bother to zip the ones
with lots of files.

I assure you it's not my site or internet connection
that's limiting you to 600b/s! It must be the trans-atlantic
link.

with the trans-atlantic bandwidth. I can really only get full speed
connections between 7am and 11am my time(uk). 11am is about the time that
the US starts to come on-line, and when Euro-Business use is at its
heaviest(apparantly).
