I also got a CD from Fanatic, and have split the audio up into the 100 lessons; it just took a bit of time and patience.

Exactly, as bit of time and patience. If people are too lazy to do a little work themselves, forget about them. Uploading is a hassle, ifile.it kept freezing up, I had to start all over several times. Which took far more time than it would take him cutting the files up into separate lessons.

The RAR file is 215MB, and Ifile.it only allows 100MB uploads. I'd rather not split it up into 3 separate downloads. |

I'd still recommend it. It's not that hard to create 3 rars, is it? :-)

rafal should be glad that some people are willing to go to a lot of trouble just to give him an opportunity to complain. I haven't seen him do any ripping, cleaning up of files or uploading for others. Demanding so-and-so.

I don't want to upload 3 separate files as most likely, one or the other will disappear from the upload service, which will render them all useless to anyone else wanting to use them.
I tend to agree with charlmartell; it took me perhaps an hour or an hour and a half to split the tracks up. If you don't want to put in the time doing that, then you probably won't want to put in the dozens and dozens of hours needed to work through the course.

charlmartell: Do reread my posts. I'm not complaining or demanding anything.
As for not willing to do any work myself: I did try to do the splitting. Spent over an hour playing with CD1 with not much success.
I recommended 3 rars instead of one big file because it's normally easier to upload smaller files. Imagine when a 215 mb file freezes near the end of upload. You'd have to start all over again.
As for not ripping anything: you're wrong. (Hint: look for old Assimil courses on uztranslations.)

I'm sorry, I found a scanned copy of the old Assimil German you uploaded. And I must say that I myself prefer to separate mp3's into separate units rather than scan a whole book. I find scanning books about the most boring thing there is. How do you do it?
So, please accept my apologies for wrongly accusing you.
As for recordings separating lesson by lesson, you could always split and save the lessons one by one, as you work your way through them. That's what I do, 100 at a time is a little tedious, but piece-meal it's not too bad. Not as bad as scanning, or uploading big files. At least to my mind.
Cheers

I, also, started to divide the first zip file (Alphabet and chapters 1-31) into individual lessons. I haven't done the others yet, but if anyone cares to start the course now, you can download the divided files here:

No problem, charlmartell.
Scanning isn't that bad you know. Whenever I scan a book or a batch of documents I just listen to audiobooks or shadow Assimil's recordings.
Thanks again for your rip.
Crush: That's great. Downloading.

I can't do anything constructive like that, but I could listen to music while scanning. Whyever did I never think of that? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Scanning might now even become relaxing instead of a boring chore. Cheers.
