how do you download from that ^^^^^ site.

Or is that a silly question? 

[x136]

how do you download from that ^^^^^ site.

BitTorrent.

Then go for a reeeeally long ride while you wait for 16GB of manuals to download...

[jesse370]

[lazarus7]

[knightrider]

Is that enough of an explanation? If it's not... I can lay down the smack so you can understand it... and benefit from it.

Please...

16GB. It would take me months to dl that. If anyone does, how about sending me just the single one I need.

[swerdna]

Please...

The short version: You get yourself a BitTorrent client (like Azureus). Then you go out and you a file that have the .torrent extension (from here. Then you run that file (or open it) with azureus. And it will magically start downloading. Yay! You're done!

Remember Napster? The bad thing about Napster was that there was one big computer somewhere that had all the stuff on it... one big computer that one guy owned and that the authorities could shut down. BitTorrent works differently. With BT, you aren't going to hook into one server to get your stuff. You are going to (under the covers) go out and get itty-bitty pieces of your files from lots and lots of different people (users like you). The .torrent file that you have is the same .torrent file that they have. That's the "thing" that brings you all together. Shutting down the BT network would involve preventing people from getting .torrent files from web sites (and hoping a new website doesn't crop up). Or shutting down individual users.

After you finish downloading the files, you should leave your client open so that you can share the files with more people.

That's better? That's my first shot at telling that story.

That's my first shot at telling that story.

'Sgood.

Couple finer details:

Download Azureus here:
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php?os=1

From the original (The Pirate Bay) source, click "DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT".  You'll get a tiny file, "Motorcycles_Repair_Manual.3787875.TPB.torrent", which is a pointer to the actual content, as swerdna states.

When you open that .torrent file in Azureus, there is an interface that allows you to choose which files in the collection you wish to download.  The default is all files, which is honkin' big in this case, and will indeed take quite a while.  But do this:

Click "Select All"
Click "Unmark Selected"
Find and enable the checkbox(es) next to the file(s) that you _do_ want.
Click "OK"

...and you'll download just those files.

Are you after "Ducati_620.S_2002.pdf"?  Guessing, from your .sig.

I downloaded that, and put it on FTP for you.  I'll leave it there for a couple days.  It appears to just be the (158 page) spare parts catalog for the 620, not a shop or owners' manual.  Still useful, because of all the exploded parts diagrams.  But maybe not what you are looking for.

[ltnuke]

How about a 695 manual?

[PizzaMonster]

Maybe I'm just being chickensh!t but before you run off to download that file beware that some Internet Service Providers are being spoilsports.   

My ISP has threatened to throttle my download speed permanently if I use BitTorrent to download anything.  Apparently they monitor downloads and if it looks like a particular person is "hogging" bandwidth they squeeze him down!

Just a thought but maybe that FTP site that  trenner set up is a safer plan.
