  1. #11
    Are you searching on gigapedia properly? I see a bunch of these books on there.

    Are you looking at the correct list? I have updated my first post. I removed the ones I found and only posted the ones that I could not find. The texts that are on the list right now are not on gigapedia. If you are finding them then please list an example and I will check the remaining ones again. Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly...

    As for the other links, yeah, I don't think they're real unfortunately...

    That one site had almost every release. seems too good to be a legit site.? If it is not full of malicious files, it would be a great resource for elearning and other content.
    Does anyone have any info on the site latestdown.com? I did not find that much info by googling the site url.

    Did you check or are you guessing?

    @pone44 - I'm just guessing but I have seen sites like that before. Those sites seem to take whatever you place in the search bar and place them somewhere on their site to make it appear as if they have the files. I could be wrong but I don't think they are real. They are most likely viruses, keyloggers, and/or trojans. (or some other malicious files) Can someone who is good with computers clarify a couple of those books for us?

    Edit: I can't find any information on latestdown.com. That site HAS to be fake, someone would have praised it somewhere on the web if it were in fact legit.

    I am not completely sure but i have heard that the links are real. Might be worth checking out as they have every book you posted.

    Whom did you hear that from and how did they arrive at the conclusion that the files are, in fact, legit?

    I've heard that computer wizes have a way to dl files that they are unsure of in some kind of virtual environment and if they files are dangerous, it doesn't harm their computers. Anyone here know anything about that sort of thing. Maybe you all can assist us here...?

    That was me pone44 drew my attention to this thread and so I checked LatestDown out. Just like you, I had never heard of it before, neither did I find any feedback via Google. However, the links they supply look legit to me - yet as I just told pone via PM, the only sure-fire way to know if they aren't fakes is downloading all the parts. I'm pretty positive they won't be, though.

    I think what you're looking for is VirtualBox or Sandboxie. I've used the latter to test new applications for years already, and it's always served me well.
