Why not post the files directly on Rapidshare? You only have to wait
15 minutes between downloads, it's no big deal, and would be a lot faster than
torrents.

The file can only be downloaded 10 times and its size is limited to 100MB. So you can see
a situation where people may only get 3-4 pieces of a 8 piece course. Also a person can
pick and choose which parts of a torrent to download. A torrent is slower but surer way
of sharing material, in my opinion.

What about getting archive.org to host them? They're the internet's public domain specialist archive....

If you have a collector's account on Rapidshare the 10 download limit doesn't apply (I think).
Would it be possible to have these sent to the person who runs http://www.fsi-language-courses.org/?

If I remember correctly, in the original website (http://www.fsi-language-courses.com) they are still debating the legality of putting these courses in the public domain. Last I heard, they were't willing to host them, but perhaps the "offshoot" website you mentioned are different. Asking won't hurt.




EDIT: Just checked the .org site which had the following warning:

fsi-language-courses.org wrote:
Last week, it was discovered that the forum located at the original site was generating a script that creates a hidden frame which contains a link to a known malware site. That forum has since been shutdown.

However, the same script has recently been detected in other areas of that site. You should not visit the original site unless you have disabled javascript (or just use the noscript plugin on Firefox).

Still can't get any of the torrents I tried to work. I tried a different pc with a different connection. No luck.

Hopefully, the .org guys will be willing to host the material.

Okay, so the .com site has a virus? The .org is safe to use?

Another option is to buy a premium account on rapidshare for Fat-tony for say 90 days to upload the files. It shouldn't be too expensive if a few of us chip in.

The download limit is now 200 MB. And if you get a free collector's account (you get that option after uploading a file, it's a quick and simple registration process), the 10 download limit does not apply.
