Thanks narfstar.

l doubt it, but if 1/4 of our members downloaded 2 files and left comments as to what they were we would probably have them all finished. No we do not expect you to sit there all day downloading, it was just a suggestion for for those who wanted to help out.

Thanks for your reply, Aussie.  Not to beat a dead horse, but since I am able to upload lists of files, unattended, to the FTP site using Filezilla, why couldn't a person download a number of files, unattended, from the FTP site?  Perhaps a special password protected directory could be created on the FTP site, for use by certain individuals only (admin? VIP? other?), who would then request specific files be placed in that special directory, for that person or persons to determine the file contents.  The requested files could be assigned to the individual making the request, so that duplication of work is avoided.  Then that person can use Filezilla, or similar, to download all their assigned files at once, notate them in the unsorted category on the download site, and announce when they have finished with their assigned files.  The only problem I see with this is possibly that the transfer of requested files to the FTP site might require extra effort by you or Serj to get them onto the FTP site.  I really don't know how such a transfer from the download site to the FTP site is done, but if you could use a utility like Filezilla, it would be pretty easy.  The actual transfer time isn't so important since nobody would have to "babysit" the process as now, with single file transfers.  If this method were used, I would request 40 files immediately, any 40 that Serj or yourself might wish to assign.  When finished,  I would request another bunch. 

Thanks for considering.

Hi! I've added comments to a few files now. The following I downloaded about a week ago so they may already be sorted. Here I added the more detailed information that I described in my previous post:

I downloaded these two days ago and have now looked through them all. I only added Title, Number, Publisher and any eventual Notes on these so I could do a few more:
Flying Models Vol.1 #3 (1954)
FW_13_36
FW_18_36
Penny_3-19
Soldier_Comics_v2no11

How are you supposed to be able help when you're all that quick!? )

Hopefully that helps at least a little!

Ramcrammer:
That is a good idea, but as far as I know only Serj has full access to the server.

Even if we had had all the comics downloaded, the renaming in the database had to be done
one by one using the webpage script, and that is the slowest part of the process.
Since there are several people  helping  downloading a few comics each and leaving comments,
the renaming and downloading speeds are  in equilibrium right now, and is being pretty fast.
Two weeks ago there were 2000 comics in the unsorted section. Now there are only 360.
At this speed,  we will finish renaming probably the next week.

So the need  for direct ftp downloads is not critical at this moment.

Thanks Citaltras.  Now, I'm feeling much better about all this.  I didn't realize this work was progressing so well.  Thanks to all you folks who have pitched in.   This really is a great community, and I'm proud to be a tiny part of it.  Once this fiasco is behind us, I'm sure GA-UK is headed for even greater glory.  Love all you folks.  Ya Hoo!!

OK call me dense.  I did not know how Bay was leaving just the unsort name and expecting anyone to know what it was.  I was checking the unsorted and noticed on the download page a comment on the bottom telling what it was.  So which way to you admins prefer?  Put the link here or just the file here after putting a commment on the bottom.  I just did zero 22

You may just leave a comment on the download pages if you like. We will see it.

Yes, a comment on the download page is likely enough for us to go on but adding a note here isn't a bad idea either.

Thanks again to EVERYONE for chipping in during our time of need!

only 263 files in unsorted, when there gone what will we do for fun?

I say we start a soft ball team!

[Aussie500]

Well although we need to identify them all, some of them will be staying in unsorted, not as many as used to be, but still a few. Thanks for those 4 BAY575GOLDENAGE

[citaltras]

only 263 files in unsorted, when there gone what will we do for fun?

Now almost 250 files only.

It seems that most of the comics in unsorted have been moved
or renamed now or have  a comment with
their contents. If you want to help, we still need to check them all and rename if needed.
There are still a few to rename.
If you notice some comic with strange name without a comment,
please leave here a reply in this post and/or try to download it and
ading the comment yourself.

I want to thank again the people who have been downloading and  leaving comments.

I recently registered but cannot seem to download anything. When I try to download, it shows me as a guest and tells me that I have used up my quota for the day. Do I need to be signed in to download? If so, what forum do you go to in order to download? Please help.

Read the faq in my siggy.

It was not easy to get that FAQ post back either, l had to hunt all over the internet for a cached page. 3/4 of the forum might vanish and we will survive, but we must have Yoc's FAQ.

Cheers Aussie!
Thanks for all the hard work you're doing behind the scenes here!

[Serj]

Hopefully the blank unsorted files will be updated by my script within next 2 - 4 days. Just want to test every part of it before I ran it otherwise it might mess up things even more if it runs and does something unexpected and we don't want that.
