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.
