Thanks for handling that BlueIcaro.

I swapped the link in the original post which I assume will work w/Transmission, correct?

Here you have the link to 10-years Anniversary Edition CD 1995-2005:

But as I mentioned above: It doesn't work for me in Linux. K3B says: 'It does not look like valid ISO.' Maybe some special Win-only format?

I can confirm that this worked for me on WinXP. I used 7zip to extract the ISO from the rar files.

This is what it looks like after I mount the ISO with Daemon Tools Lite

@JD

Thanks for that info - I spent at least two hours last night trying to get the extracted image to mount under Linux, but couldn't work out the type of file system used.

Booting up my WinXP VM,  I used WinRar to to do the extraction; I could not get 7-Zip to cooperate - but Daemon Tools Lite worked like a charm!  I even used this to create a new image from the original, and passed it back to Linux.  It mounted just as it should.  Now I just grab the .pdf files out of the ../works folder.

Thanks again,

geno.

Hello, I downloaded it. In Windows 7 says that's not a valid file. :(

I'll try in Windows XP mode

Perfect, downloaded very fast, untared with archiver from Ubuntu 10.10 without problems.

Hum, the only thing is that

Delphi Informant Magazine Complete Works 1995-2000.part1.rar

is the same file as :

Delphi Informant Magazine Complete Works 1995-2000.part2.rar

(in place of the file from 2000-2005 ?)

Many thanks

So you mean there is a 2000-2005 file too?
Just realized I don't have those.

Am I posting right link on the first post with all issues?

I guess I need to download it myself.

Thanks guys for solving the file issue.

For anyone who is interested, I made a torrent file from the image I created as described earlier today [see below].

  It has all issues of Delphi Informant and example code from 1995 through 2004.  This image is a Windows autorun cd which can be burned to disk or mounted using Daemon Tools Lite.  It can also be mounted under Linux and all the .pdf / examples can be viewed or manually copied to your working directory.

I have transmission up and seeding; let me know if there are any problems as this is my first attempt at creating a torrent!!

Hi fleshmang,
Thanks. I am attempting to download via Transmission (from Debian Linux) and it sees the file but is idle or seem to be waiting.

Do you see my connection?

Hi All:

My tracker has been seeding one or two peers at a time with rates ranging from 8KiB/s up to 200KiB/s.  I'm sitting here trying to push her as hard as I can - I even brought a Vista machine up, but it seems to be choking.  I guess I'm maxing my pipeline - on good days I can only hope to pull 300K myself [damn clearwire and their 'optimistic' quotes].  But anyway, I will sit here and play nursemaid and try to keep the connection open until we can get a few more peers pushing bytes.

good luck,

geno.
