I would be interested to know if anyone has access to the FSI Saudi Arabic Basic Course in digital format, or who would be willing to digitize their copy. I would be happy to seed a torrent for wider distribution if someone can provide it.
Thanks.

I'm currently have problems with my sound card(I'm getting a new one on Monday) so I can't digitize my MSA written FSI version yet. It's not the Saudi Arabic version.

braveb, are you planning on posting your copy once you digitize it? The MSA course would be a great resource as well.

I would be willing to seed a torrent. This would make the files more widely available and would lighten the load on any one user. Moreover, we could ask gdfellows to host it on his site http://fsi-language-courses.com/. Send me a personal message with any questions.

That sounds like a good idea. Torrents would be more efficient than draining one server's allocated bandwidth.
