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.

I will add

* Torrents
* Search function
* Some kind of a hierarchical access
* Preview function, so that PDFs can be viewed as HTML, kind of like
tpub but without selling anything.

I will never charge anyone for any type of access.

What I would like to ask, is to link to this website. The more
incoming links, the higher will the manuals sit in the search results
of search engines, so that people who search for them, can find those
manuals that are free, as opposed to other sites that are selling
them.

Feel free to share, republish, sell these manuals, etc.

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 will set up torrents for those who want to download all manuals. I
want to work on this after I get all the manuals in.

If you have ANY idea how to organize this pile of manuals, I am all

Set your upload throttle at 25% of your upstream
bandwidth, and you barely notice it, if at all.

This is what I do, too. I limit the down and especially up speed, and
never mind uploading torrens to other people -- this is how they work,
after all.

A search function would be VERY helpful. That's a must!

I will set up torrents for those who want to download all manuals. I
want to work on this after I get all the manuals in.

If you have ANY idea how to organize this pile of manuals, I am all
ears.

I think you have done very well with it, ig.
Using the browser's Find function lets one search for terms.
And the TM # is right there on the screen.

Considering the breadth of subject matter, a menu system would
probably be more hinderance than help...

BTW...

Sweet!



I will try to add some kind of a search function. Solr is an awesome
package that does a lot of search related stuff right. For example, it
has a "find similar items" function that finds similar documents.

I use it on algebra.com. When a visitor views a solution to a given
math problem from the archives, I offer them a "other similar
problems" choice. Kind of like similar movies on youtube. That
increased my traffic by something like 25% and I am sure that people
like it.

I will try to do some smart search function on liberatedmanuals too.

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

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?

OK, thanks. That was what I needed.

I fixed it. It was a bug and I could not give any manuals with -and-
in the name.

It has nothing to do with access limit restrictions.

I am glad.

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!


OK, I will work on search. I have Solr installed on that server, I may
do it with Solr.

i

One suggestion would be to group like items together. For instance If
you have the lube, tech, recall,+++ for an item.

Another thought would be to group them by type, IE: Aircraft, Tracked
vehicles, artillery, armaments, and so forth.

What I found out is that I had a bug and no one could download manuals
that have -and- in the name. These are usually manuals like
TM-X-YYYY-ZZ-QQ&P or some such that have the "&" character.

So I fixed that.

Just in case, I also increased the daily and per-minute limits
greatly, but I would like to scale them back down, to 100 per day and
10 per minute.

I will probably do it again.

Once more, my point is to liberate the manuals, not to make one more
website that charges for them or restricts their circulation. So, feel
free to repost them where you want, sell them, etc.

I do appreciate that. My efforts to collect info on .223 and .308 semi
auto rifles has ended up costing a fair bit. More than once, I've been
scammed into paying for a very small amount of information.

Guess I'm a slow learner. Or at least P.T. Barnum's friend.

I think you have that wrong, 20Mbps is more than most folks have
downstream. ADSL typically has something in the 256Kbps-512Kbps
upstream.

You are absolutely right! I got so used to thinking
in terms of mbps when I had cable that I forgot to
change my mental units back to kbps. We have
1.4 mbps down, 20 kbps up.

QWEST offers 1.5 service, and I experience 1.2mbps down and 700kbs up.


The "lousy ADSL" stands though. :-/

Lemme tell ya, it beats Starband sat latency all to hell.
I'd love a free T-1 or ADSL2+ (24mbps) setup.
I'd be willing to share a free OC192.

I figured that since other DLs were OK.

Thanks for this, Iggy. If you want to expand your horizons you could copy
all of the HP and Agilent manuals from Agilent's site, and any Tektronix
manuals you can get, and, and ... :-). I see a steady stream of printouts
of HP manual pdfs for sale on ebay for old power supplies and the like, and
of course the pdfs are right there for the downloading on hp's site.

The test equipment manuals are on the Agilent site, and they have forced
people to remove online versions from other sites. BAMA was one of the
first they fought with, before putting the manuals on their own site.
