Devious Tools Series

[andy2004]

well its sometimes depends on the data being uploaded. I dont know how they do there newserver whether they copy some of the files from the bigger newservers, or some other method, i do know that sometime when i've download the list from a group and i click a file to download that i want which was usually updated the same day, sometimes i get a red bar i use newsbin means file has been deleted. usually happens with albums mp3's. they may delete due to noone downloading them.
amiga files are now unavailable on my newserver. just tested it and it was showing up as red.
oh look, i posted it on the 24nov and now exactly 1 week later 1dec its dead. I wish i was wrong.

[prowler]

That's really bad news, Andy. I wish you were wrong too!

Hope Thalion's still with it...

[andy2004]

still dont think i could have downloaded it all even if i had the space, only a 2mb connection. 240Kbps from 11pm - 10am and 116Kbps 10am - 11pm when they limit me, and these times arent fixed. i remember waiting till 1.15am before i got my 240kbps speed back before now, and lost it again at 7am because i was downloading through the night
so it not 12hrs highspeed and 12hr low speed, funny really because i supposed to get slow speed when more people in the UK get home and want to use theirs, well most people work to around 5:30pm, and most go to bed before 11pm, so the times are all screwed up.

that sounds like your isp is throttling your connection andy

don`t you just hate that fair use policy

[andy2004]

Thats virginmedia for you. and there UNLIMITED downloads
funny considering most of the downloading i do is from their free newservers.

[Thalion]

Sorry for the delay but at least i can say i'm still downloading the archives.
Unfortunately as i said connection is quite slow but currently i'm at number 190. So it will still take some days to complete.

[prowler]

Thanks for the update, Thalion.

Good luck with the rest of the archive.

[andy2004]

so only another 62parts to go, WOW, as prowler said good luck and i hope your newserver keeps the files until you have managed to download the rest. damn files have been removed from my ISP so i cant download. Wished i got that 1tb drive instead of the new 22LCD /TV that was approx 1 month before i found out about the archive.
I didnt expect anyone to actually download it by the way. I just mentioned it in here. wish the uploader had split it into sections instead, 1 for games, 1 for lsd, another for other apps. etc. instead of 1 multispanned rar 90+gb.

[Thalion]

Another status update: If everything goes as expected i will finish the download this weekend. Then comes unpacking which will take an considerable amount of time too as i need to do it to my external HD but hopefully i have the plain content at the start of the new week so i can provide you hoperfully with some X-Mas presents.

[prowler]

Thanks for the update, Thalion.

Let's hope the Magix FTP space isn't full by then!

If not, then I'm sure you'll soon fill it.

[Edit] BTW, will you be taking requests?

[cosmicfrog]

yay will that xmas pressie be on your ftp Thalion

I really appreciate that you have taken the time to get this and in the end share it with us all

[Thalion]

no wishes so far, but good to know, someone close to us can fulfill them

[andy2004]

awaiting orders lol, have u got a list of files we can look at Thalion i did i post that already, yep

erm ok i'll start, more information than anything.

i see DMC Disk Mag Creator is there
AMIGA\Applications\Public Domain\[ADF]\Disk Mag Creator (1995)(Gibson, A. - F1 Licenceware)(LW)(Disk 1 of 2).zip
AMIGA\Applications\Public Domain\[ADF]\Disk Mag Creator (1995)(Gibson, A. - F1 Licenceware)(LW)(Disk 2 of 2).zip
is that version 3 gold or the 2.5 version if its 2.5 i already got version 3 gold.

AMIGA\Applications\[ADF]\Crunch-Mania v1.91t (1994)(Schwarz, Thomas)[WB].zip
is that the same as the aminet verision or is there something else on the disc image

if u dont mind i would like the Magnum Pro.zip file
AMIGA\Applications\Public Domain\[ADF]\Magnum Pro (19xx)(F1 Licenceware)(LW)[disk mag tool].zip

wow the list seems to go on and on. didnt realise how many utility discs there are. so i'm not asking for anything else

[DamienD]

Judging from andy2004's post it seems like this collection probably has loads of TOSEC stuff inside i.e.


Commodore Amiga - Applications - Public Domain - [ADF] (TOSEC-v2006-09-15_CM).dat
... Disk Mag Creator (1995)(Gibson, A. - F1 Licenceware)(LW)(Disk 1 of 2).adf
... Disk Mag Creator (1995)(Gibson, A. - F1 Licenceware)(LW)(Disk 2 of 2).adf
... Magnum Pro (19xx)(F1 Licenceware)(LW)[disk mag tool].adf

Commodore Amiga - Applications - [ADF] (TOSEC-v2006-10-07_CM).dat
... Crunch-Mania v1.91t (1994)(Schwarz, Thomas)[WB].adf


I've put all the above in The Zone! for you anyway andy2004 even though they are not specifically from the archive Thalion has downloaded.

@Thalion; what would be really cool is if you could to run everything through all the latest public TOSEC DATs and see if there's anything new

I know it's a big ask though and would take quite a bit of time to do...

[andy2004]

Thanks DamienD you didnt have to upload all 4 just the bottom one, i wanted to know if the other 3 where what I thought they where, guess i can check that myself know.
ok found out what i wanted to know,

CrunchMania is the same as the aminet version,
DMC seems to be version 2 cant find the proper version number, in the program inself it tells you all the versions and 2.0 is the last one. and the config file is not encrypted. unlike DMC 3 GOLD

[Thalion]

@Damien Yeah its mostly TOSEC stuff, don't think anything new is included but you'll never know, so i will do a scan.

[DamienD]

Nice one Thalion, fingers crossed that there is new stuff in there somewhere
