Well, the site is available.
http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/
I will provide more functions, such as torrents, search, and so
on. Right now the only function is a "list of all manuals", see link
closer to the bottom of the main page. Hopefully you can find the ones
that you need. It is not a bad start.
Yea, thanks for doing that, Ig.
Heads Up: I get a 403 Forbidden error on some links
http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-1...2-13-and-P.pdf
so I checked another randomly
http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-1...1-13-and-P.pdf
also getting a 403.
A couple Huey and Apache manuals downloaded OK, though.
There is a limit of 100 manuals per day and 10 manuals per minute, per
IP. The last limit is just to prevent download accelerators and site
downloader programs from abusing my site. I would say, wait a couple
of minutes and try again.
I believe I had DLed only one prior to that and nothing was DLing at
the time, so something isn't quite right there. You might check into
it if more people give that same feedback.
Maybe you can do a controlled experiment?
OK, I restarted my comp and checked again with both the above titles
and they both gave me the "403 Forbidden, You don't have permission to
access /getpdf.mpl on this server. Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at
www.liberatedmanuals.com Port 80" errors with Firefox and IE8.
TM-1-1730-232-13-and-P TRUCK, HELICOPTER GROUND HANDLING, P/N
204-050-200-5, (NSN 1730-00-980-9552); 214-706-104-101
(1730-01-133-9204); 1730-EG-100 (1730-01-133-9204) was the link title
of the first error I got. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
I thought that I got that right and tested it, but as always, I screw
up 50% of things that I do, so let me know if it does not work right.
(even though I screw up 50%, I try to make sure that the consequences
are not ruinous and I fix what I break).
So, the first thing you do when you hear the SNAP from an
overtorqued bolt is to -quickly- back it off half a turn, eh?
If you have ANY idea how to organize this pile of manuals, I am all
ears.
That was my next suggestion. It could take awhile if done manually.
I am thinking that search is perhaps more important than proper
categorization. It should not be that hard to do.
But as far as categories go, I would think that it could be combat
vehicles/support vehicles/auxiliary equipment/???
(What's with the question mark abuse?)
I would think Combat & support vehicles/Air or /ground should do it
for categorization. Whenever I'm looking for something generally
interesting, a TOC is a great help. It makes browsing a site, to see
what is available, much more friendly and comfortable.
But whenever I have a specific need, I choose the search first.
A search function would be VERY helpful. That's a must!
