Here's the deal.

An associate of mine has broadband, and is a member here, and has offered to host the FTP.

Now, starting tommorrow night, the FTP will be available for ONLY uploading to, no downloading, as the goal is to build up as large of a "seed stock" as possible.

This will be up until friday, or 5 gigabytes has been uploaded, whichever comes first.

After this time, it'll be taken offline so that the files can be properly sorted out, crap deleted, and all the rest of it, as well as catagorizing by Dewey Decimal. :)

No more drilling through multiple layers of folders, only to find the stuff isn't there, but somewhere else. No more ambiguous titles. No more crapbooks. No more amateurish administrating of the FTP.

Once sorted, it'll be mirrored and made available again from several different hosts, to allow redundancy and to split the bandwidth usage of all the downloads.

It may take a few months to get it all sorted out and such, but it'll be worth the wait, as the alternatives don't bear repeating.

These are CRAP file types that are NOT permitted:

NO warez, NO moviez, NO porn, NO hentai, NO anime, NO music, NO programs or executables of any sort.

Because the purpose of this is seed collection, there will be no login or passwords needed. However, IP logs will be kept, and anyone uploading the aforementioned crap file types will be banned from here after I find the IP here.

Bookz (PDF's and scanned pages) are the intended target. All books, all kinds, all sizes.

Federoff and the Encyclopedia (if anyone got a working copy) especially.

Videos of explosions are OK, as well as pictures of tests, improvised weapons and plans, HTML copies of 404'd websites of interest to us, and other informational files are desirable.

Please show some courtesy by using maximum ZIP or RAR compression on all files to spare bandwidth and to allow for maximum storage capacity and transmission speed.

Hey everyone, the FTP is up now.

It's at:

ftp://68.86.53.149/

There's a limit of 15 users, no bandwidth restrictions, upload only, but you can resume broken downloads.

There's a three minute idle kick.

Got about 60MB of files so far. Hopefully we can get this drive filled up soon! :D

As a public service to the Forum, and the 'net community in general, I had nightstalker make a download directory too.

In this directory, you'll find a PDF tutorial all about scanning, that I made from a book by scanning. :)

It's 78 pages, with lots of pictures, and covers everything from choosing a scanner to saving the scans in the proper format and naming them correctly.

It's 5 MB in size.

There's also a smaller PDF about e-books.

ftp://scanner@68.86.53.149/

There seems to be a 10minute maximum session timeout for the ftp. Is there anyway to get that changed? I'm having trouble uploading much, on my 56k, before getting disconnected.

NO programs or executables of any sort.


Dear NBK,
I've got a program called 'zip up the web pro'. No I don't want to upload it. But I would like to mention about the web site leaching capabilities of this program.

When I come across a web site whose contents I like very much, I use this program to leach it. But when web site is leached, the content is compressed into an *.exe file. Though the resultant file is an exe, actually it is compressed file. Is it allowed?

NO .exe files of any kind, period.

Too easy to get a virus or trojan through them.

Also, the timeout problem has been taking care of, after rhadon noticed it while uploading the gracie videos.

We've got about 400MB so far. :)

However, there's only been one or two people uploading. :(

It takes a village, people. ;)

Also, passive mode is not permitted, so it's not an error.

You can simply open up the FTP using IE, with FTP enabled in the Advanced Settings, and drag and drop a file onto the window and upload that way.

The important command is PASV (passive mode). If you disable it on your client you may continue uploading. Now I am uploading 300+ MB to server. ;)

And I shall upload a folder which contains some jet engine blueprints, etc. Is it allowed?

and then I will add others once that set of uploads is complete, I'm doing it in batches so that I can still do other research will they are uploading.

Hopefully by around wedsday I should have got everything collected and should have about 12gig to upload. If some one can help me with the syntax to make a .txt archive list I will upload that and let you [NBK or who ever is nominated] send me back and Edited version of what you want. I though have a 256kbps upload cap, so even if I were to try and upload it all it would take around 16 hours. Though I'm willing to put in the effort to get a FTP back up.


Question, this is going to act much like a RAID hard drive system, when are the updates going to be synchronized? Just a thought for the future.

A file on one drive that has been uploaded could possibly sit there forever causing the users to constanly log on to each and every FTP more then needed to check for recent updates wasting sockets, Badnwidth and time.

But once again these are all thoughts for the future, we need to at least get this much off the ground. Password security and redundancy is another issuse. Same pass on every system? if so are tehy going to be manualy entered?.... I know Security is allways a priority with NBK just courious on some issues. If I can lend you any more help NBK never hesitate to ask [Sure you have heard that bullshit line before].

You are receiving this error since somebody else is also uploading it. Before uploading something, you should check (if possible), if somebody else is uploading it too.

Just so everyone knows, I'll be taking the FTP offline at 10PM Central Standard Time (an hour from this posting), for two hours ('till midnight), to archive the material on CD and to make more space on my HDD, as I'm filling it up faster than I thought possible, thanks to the wonder that is P2P. :o

Hi,
I think while uploading some files, for some reason some files becomes corrupt. The files I suspect to be corrupt are :
(ebook-pdf)-Physics - Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.zip
Phosphorus Fluorine Compounds.pdf
the War Gases Chemistry and Analysis.pdf
Lessons Learned Bulletin No.53, Vietnam, 1966 - Viet Cong Improvised Explosive Mines and Booby Traps.pdf
(ebook - pdf) - McGraw Hill - Organic Chemistry.zip

Please check them and If these files are corrupt and not being uploaded by someone else, delete them.

Sorry but I had to give up, after many tries to upload files, I noticed while smaller files (about 2-3 MB) are perfectly uploaded, large files cannot be uploaded easily since the FTP server kicks me out and does not allow to resume downloads. So, I just would like recommendations.

OK after having a good sleep, I resumed uploading files. But I can neither resume nor overwrite them. But I am uploading other files now.

Will CD images be allowed to be uploaded?
I can upload if you want CD images of "Chem Interactive". A very useful Chemistry encyclopedia. It has lots of movies, pictures etc.
The only major problem is that the images are about 720mb and 750mb a piece uncompressed. I dont have a problem uploading them since I have cable, but I won't if they are too big or violate the no pragram rule. If I upload them I'll try to compress them as much as possible.

700 mbs is almost 1/5 of the entire amount to be uploaded, i think thats an awful lot for just one thing.

I also attain only 2,5 KB up speed.
In addition, forgive me for directing this request to you but can you contact with the NightStalker? S/He does not seem to be present here. There are some corrupt files and I can neither delete them nor resume them. So ftp admin must check them and if they are corrupt delete them.

I think I am doing something wrong with my FTP client (CuteFTP 4.2.3 Build 2.14.1). Here is the error message I received :
(Quote)
STATUS:> 0 bytes in 90 seconds
ERROR:> Interrupted by user.

It seems I interrupted the upload!... How can it be? I did not do anything to interrupt the uploading process. Any suggestions?

I am glad to see that the corrupt files have been moved to Corrupt directory. Now I shall upload the corrupt files again.

In addition I think 'Chemistry - McMurry, John - Organic Chemistry 5th Edition (2000) (aetsby-2003-11-02).ace' file also become corrupt since it stopped sending after 99%. :confused: :mad:

I've been asleep since just after midnight, and went to work at 10AM, and just got home about an hour ago, so I'm not around to chat very much. :) This is my normal work week routine.

When I got back, I found the server running sluggish because the RAM memory was full, and it was using virtual swap memory. The server was frozen, and windows wouldn't shut down, so I had to hard reset by turning off the power.

The server is back up, and the upload speed average is now 30KPS. :)

And, just like last night, I'll be taken it offline at 10PM to archive the new stuff to CD, and I'll be deleting it afterwards, to make more room.

To prevent duplication, I'll make a directory list off all the archived copies and put that in the scanner folder, so anyone interested in uploading a file can download the little text file, and see if it's already been up'd, and save everyone the time.

NBK is busy taking care of some personal business, so he's rather busy himself at the moment, and I'm letting him download stuff that he needs , so that's using up bandwidth also. The man gets priority use.

Anyways, I'm going through the files as I can, and transferring the fucked up ones to the "corrupt" folder, so you can resume the upload.

I've had the uploads folder set to allow for resumption of incompleted uploads, and staffers have told me they have resumed such incompleted uploads, so it might be on your end.

Also, as useful as the ISO's may be, they're just too massive to be worth the effort at this time, especially given that the purpose of this collection to build a diverse collection to index. A single .7GB file is hardly diverse, and consumes a huge amount of bandwidth, both coming and going.

NBK will be stopping by in the morning, so he might answer any questions you have then.

NightStalker
March 30th, 2004, 01:57 AM
Resume the "Silence of the Bookz". ;)

PS: Since I don't have time to go through every file and see if they were functional, I simply burned them all, whole or not.

If you didn't finish uploading something, before resuming upload, tell me here and I'll replace it in the directory so you don't have to start from scratch.

Dear NightStalker,
I've got a suggestion regarding management of the files. In this link (http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/) you shall find a utility called MD5 (message digest 5) which enables one to hash and create unique message digest of the any files with any size.

This utility is used by symantec to authenticate their virii definition files and keep them tamper free. (I found the link to this site from symantec web site)

Since it is highly possible that two or more persons concurrently upload the same file but with different names, thereby wasting band width and disk /computer resources, you may want to preclude by obtaining message digests of each files uploaded and inserting message digests of the completed and working /non-corrupt files included in the file list you created in the other directory and requesting uploading members
1) To create message digests of the files that any uploading member would like to upload, and then
2) To compare the message digests of the candidate files obtained in step 1 with the message digests you created and included in 'FTP-Contents_Alphabetical.txt'.

I think a similar system is used in overnet where although the file is the same file, it is named differently but identified as a single and same file.

I am very well aware that this means extra work for you, but this may decrease/mitigate future pains to sort out and classify the files.

I hope this proposed system may be helpful.

P.S. The reason for why I suggest this system, is that I saw our God (Megalomania) :) is also uploading the file I am uploading (namely Organic Chemistry 5th edition (2000) by John McMurry). Anyway when I saw s/he is uploading, I gave it up. S/he may continue uploading since s/he is geographically nearer to the server.

P.S. 2 Another thought occurred to me. In addition to message digest system, For example if you determine a certain file is complete and non-corrupt, you may move it to another directory and create another file with the same name but zero bytes and read only attrib is set, and place this file to the uploads directory thereby preventing anybody who try to upload the same file with the same name from uploading it.

P.S. 3 I hope I am not a nuisance to you/forumites by making such proposals.

P.S. 4. NightStalker : Is '(ebook - pdf) - McGraw Hill - Organic Chemistry.zip' complete. It must not have been and it cannot be, since my version is 29,666 KB but your list indicates it to be only 5,440 KB. Shall I upload it again?

March 30th, 2004, 05:44 PM
There is a new alternative FTP to upload files to until furthur notice:

ftp://204.210.178.18

This site is in addition to the one NBK2000 is organizing. Login is anon and this site will be accepting all larger files, like you have Flake2m. Please upload all files from the old Forum FTP if you have them. The files from this new FTP will eventually be combined with the other FTP nbk is running, so there is no need to upload files to both. This new FTP will accept exe files and other file formats.

Please no porn, games, music, or movies (unless the movies are explosive/weapon related).

Basicially anything you can't upload to ftp://68.86.53.149 you may upload to ftp://204.210.178.18

Unfortunately people aren't listening to Mega.

If you have 700MB ISO images, CAD/CAM programs, warez, or such, upload to the 204 FTP.

In fact, let's put a size limit, where anything smaller than 30MB goes to my FTP, and anything larger (or programs/exe's, ) goes to the 204 FTP.

nbk2000
March 31st, 2004, 01:45 PM
Why would anyone need to post their intended uploads?

You log on, download the files list, and compare your file name and size against it, looking for duplicates.

If it's there, you don't upload. If it isn't, you do.

And it's better that there be duplicates than no copies at all, as they'll all be sorted out anyways, so any duplicates will be removed.

The MD5 hash is a good idea. That'd have to be applied to individual files in an uncompressed state, as the hash would vary depening on the level of compression and what type of compression was used.

Indexing the hashes would be required to make it easy to compare them with others, and everyone would have to use the same hash computing program.

I have given up the first FTP (68.....) since the speed is slow.

Now I am uploading the second FTP. But please forgive me since I cannot resume my uploads due to shitty power surges /momentary power downs, I had to rename my files and upload it accordingly.
TO NBK, IMHO, applying hashing to uncompressed file more complicates the process since some compressed files contain more than one file. Even if different compression ratios /methods are used, this system shall prevent duplication of the same files with different names.

hi,
I'm now uploading some files to the second FTP, because I couldn't get acces to the first. But I have a question, I have a lot of books containing info about
drugs. Can I upload them, or is it forbidden to put such a things on the forum
FTP?

Psymage

nbk2000
April 1st, 2004, 03:22 AM
Psymage, were you not paying attention to the post nightstalker made an hour before yours? :p

Drugs are chemicals and chemistry too, right? :)

We don't forbid such information as the people who'd ban such knowledge have our hobby next on the list. :mad:

There's also overlap between E&Wm and pharmacology, as drugs are also useful as weapons.

Yes, english only, as information in russian, french, german, dutch, etc., doesn't do 90%+ of our membership any good.

Perhaps a non-english directory could be created, so people could upload non-english files and those who can understand it can translate relevant portions and re-up the information.

If someone wanted to do a translation, and up the translated text, that'd be perfectly acceptable. :)

Hashing of uncompressed files is the way it'd be, as compression changes the file hash, and the person can do the hash on the uncompressed files before compressing it for upload. They can also compact multiple files into a single archive AFTER they hash each individual file, and include the hash file for all the compressed files in a text file that's also in the archive.

When the FTP admin goes and decompresses the files, and verifies the hash, he can append the hash values to a master list of all file hash values that would be available for downloading.

Simple, eh? ;)

And my last question: A magical mushroom growing guide is related to drugs but not to chemistry, can I still upload it?

okey,
I have 3 other questions:
1. Can I upload saved web-sites.
2.And when I upload much to the ftp, can I get acces to the download ftp when it's ready?
3.And my last question: A magical mushroom growing guide is related to drugs but not to chemistry, can I still upload it?

1. Yes, as long as it's in HTML format, or an mht, or compressed into a ZIP or RAR. NO executable compressed formats.

2. FTP access isn't something you barter for. You earn access by contributing (meaning uploading) and being a member in good standing. If you don't upload anything, or if you're not a decent contributing member to the Forum, you get no access.

Access is merit-based.

3. There are poisonous mushrooms too, and poisons are a RS topic of discussion, so you can upload mushroom growing guides too.

Pretty much anything that's a topic of discussion here, not including things in the water cooler, are valid FTP subjects.

If in doubt, you can always upload it anyways, as the worst that'll happen is it'd be deleted. However, if you consistantly fuck up by uploading irrelevant crap...:mad:

And you don't have to wait for nightstalkers FTP to be up. We DO have TWO FTP's, if you haven't noticed.

Hubert, read the above. You don't upload with the expectation of getting access, because if you do, and you don't upload anything worthy, then you never get access. ;)

And polish books are about worthless, because how many people here can read polish? Two? And non-english wouldn't be permitted 'till the FTPs are well-established anyhows.

Any files that were on the previous FTP are welcomed. We can't let shitHED get away with losing us any information that we had entrusted into his spunky hands.

Sorry no flaming intended (since I am quite a newbie and do not see it my right to flame anybody) but I really find it unuseful that people posting about their intended posts and actual posts. Instead, I am of the opinion that we have to use this forum for the directions/problems/uses etc. This attitude is unnecessary since FTP server's log shall show up who (or at least which IP number) uploaded which file(s).

This is waste of resources for the forum, though my post count does not increase despite the several post (which IMHO indicates that this thread shall be trimmed in near future).

In addition, I do not expect the right to download is granted, (or I upload files for the sole purpose of getting access) though I shall be pleased if access granted since I shall get rid of this shitty and annoying P2P software (namely ov*rnet), through which getting large files takes several days, slowing my fast connection.

Anyway, here is my main purpose of posting:
I am placing notes to sysadmin in text form for my actions and request since I could not upload some large files (namely 56 MB and 30+ MB) files to second ftp. Could ftp admin may delete or reset their readonly status of the uncompleted files. I don't know but for some reason I cannot resume downloads. Instead I rename the file and reupload it again. In this manner I managed to upload some good files (mainly chemistry for the second ftp and mainly gunsmitting files for the first ftp).

What should I do?

In addition, NBK did you decided on the hash process and when it shall be started to be implemented?

What the hell!....
I am now neither uploading neither new file nor resume the previous ones on the second ftp!. Here is the message I received

I like NBKs idea of having an area for foreign information if space is available so people who read both the foreign language and English can translate texts. There are still quite a few good manuals out there still not in English, especially concerning the martial arts (even if it is next to impossible to learn them purely by a book).

It's acting up, saying I'm out of space, when the file manager says I've got 4 gigs. :confused:

A little scandisk is in order.

And see it I do. >)

The FTP is going offline now. Between what nightstalker got, and what's been copied over from the other FTP, I've enough to start indexing.

I don't know if the others will be left up, or taken down too, but all of them will be eventually synched on the indexing is done.

Will it be absolutely impossible to get any books from the FTP the next couple of months?
The only thing I'm after right now is the KIFE, and I wouldn't really want to wait half a year to just download one book.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like the idea of closing the download from the FTP for a coupple of months, in order to get lots of data.

Any way...Just wondering if it would be possible to have small files sent to one's E-Mail or something like that...If you contribute of course.
If this is out of the question, then don't mind this post.

I am OF COURSE looking forward to the FTP opening again, with lots of new books n stuff ;)

I've again managed to smash an upload to the smaller server.."how to beat the polygraph". An identical copy has been sent to the larger FTP along with some other stuff, so no worries there.

For some reason, the smaller FTP doesn't like to work with me... kicks me in the nuts every few minutes or so. And since this morning, it won't resume.. not for me, at least.

I've no other option but to use the secondary FTP, even though the files aren't big at all. Apologies.

I am recommending you the P2P networks (like Kazaa, Overnet, Emule, etc.) I have obtained many of the files /books videos via P2P networks. And I think IMHO I may take at least three months to collect and arrange entire files.

Anyway my actual posting. Our Almighty God :), I cannot upload your FTP anymore, it (my FTP client) gives such errors as below :

STATUS:> Sending (Elec) Electronic Workbench Ultiboard 5.72 (Design Circuits Pcb)(@2003).rar
COMMAND:> PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (204,210,178,18,8,173)

STATUS:> Connecting data socket...
550 Cannot RESTart in a new (zero-length) file.
ERROR:> File error
STATUS:> Failed to send ****\k\electronics\(Elec) Electronic Workbench Ultiboard 5.72 (Design Circuits Pcb)(@2003).rar

What should I do?

P.S. I am referring to that ftp server of 204.210.....

Nightstalkers FTP is now PERMANENTLY offline.

Swim splits the large files with WinRAR Version 3.30 crcked, since I am really sick of inability to resume files and renaming them and failing again.

So Mega if you want to reunite the file, please use this version in order to preclude corruption.

Wow it has been a little while since I have been to theforum and a lot has changed. I have tried to access theforum a few times before in the months past but it said I was not logged in or my account may have been blocked. Then I was discouraged because I thought maybe I was banned :(

Then today I just happened to see that I should click "remember me" (whatever that means.. I will do some more searching) and here I am. Anyways I have been a member a couple of years now and a lot has changed which makes me wonder when mega and nbk ever have time to eat, sleep, or work. Anyways theforum and the FTP seems to be getting ever more developed and I assume something happened to chemwarrior (I think he was the last FTP owner after Ctrl_C). Well I will continue to search the posts and get familiar with the new layout since it is pretty high-tech now.

If I get a chance I will look through my old files and see if I have anything of use from over the years. But keep up the good work guys!

I downloaded the files you uploaded to the FTP akinrog, quite nice. He tells me he has no idea why the upload resume is screwy, as far as he knows it should work. Does anyone know what settings should be enabled for serv-u FTP? (I think that's the server, that's what it says when I log in).

I opened the files you sent akinrog, specificially the Pharmaceutical Manufacture Encyclopedia. It is not complete, but the individual pdfs inside work up to C-3. If you would not mind please upload the original pdfs, or split the document into 10mb sections or so. Everything will be recombined eventually.

Since there seem to be some useful files he is willing to allow downloads on a limited basis in few days. He has to get back to me on the specifics.

Since the 68 FTP is closed, any file may now be uploaded to the 204 FTP. I am also closing this thread, since there is another just for the 204 FTP.
