Atlas Shrugged--ayn Rand

[j2k4]

I've been looking for this for my Mother, as she wants to read it but the length and small print are daunting. This would have to be a monster; 15-18 cds worth?

[MagicNakor]

It is indeed a monster. 10 files of 65-80 megs each. I can try and get it for you, although I don't know how long it'll take. Probably a while, it's rather rare.

MN-
Don't have any idea what you'd have to go through to do the deed-if there is anything I can do, please let me know.

I'm aware it's a toughie-I decided long ago it was an important book and decided to scarf up every used copy I ever ran across; that was about fifteen years ago-I have found exactly 3 paperback copies. I got them to give to people I thought would actually read them; I currently have only my original left. :(

I am in no huge rush; I already missed her birthday. THANK YOU for your efforts! :) :)

Do you use DirectConnect at all? There's an audio-book hub on it that has one guy with the whole thing. ;)

Will gladly try in the A.M.-is it easy to find and use?
I am not familiar with it.

Better check my supply of blanks! :D

Thanks again, MN!

[MagicNakor]

It's pretty easy to use. I use DC++, which is kinda like K++ for DirectConnect. ;)

http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/

Then all you need is a public hub list. There's a list of them over on their forums.

The place you'll want is called "The Secret Garden." If you can't find it, I'll put the address up too.

Thanks-
I was just gonna ask-proceeding to DL now.

[MagicNakor]

Downloading which, DC or Atlas Shrugged? ;)

DC is dl'd.
This isn't gonna be as easy as K-Lite, is it? :huh:
I'll commence the requisite reading before I take a swing at Ayn's masterpiece.

[MagicNakor]

Nah, it's pretty easy. Think of it as a fast eMule. ;) You pick a hub to connect to, and there you are.

Okay-still looking for the time to crank it up-want to make sure I understand what I'm doing, as K-lite is my only P2P experience. :unsure:
Haven't used E-mule. :(

I'll post again here once I'm rolling. B)

[MagicNakor]

Cool. :)

Not yet; I've run into a bunch of things which are temporarily fussing my efforts, not the least of which is, I can't suss Direct Connect as easily as K-Lite. I've got (I guess) some hubs to pick from now, but have had no luck getting it to search.

Time is, at the moment, an even larger issue. :(

[MagicNakor]

You'll have to connect to a hub before you run a search. The one you're looking for's address is
thesecretgarden.homeip.net. Just add it to the favourites bit and you'll connect fine.
