Alexey, Thx for partitipation. I'm searching, why some clients are not getting it. I see right now rTorrent (libTorrent), Transmission, uTorrent and Azureus clients downloading from me. I'm searching on rtorrent IRC channel, what I can adjust on torrent file or my rtorrent client to satisfy clients, which didn't started downloading. The point is to share these ISOs via torrent protocol. So I don't have ISOs on ftp server. It will also make my slow connection unusable. I hope, that the situation will improve with more clients having these data. Please keep your clients running. Thank you, Jiri -- Jiri Navratil, http://www.navratil.cz, +420 777 224 245 1. 9. 2011 v 1:57, Alexey Eromenko: > After 5 hours of trying I still cannot download it.

4. Any Tutorials / Free Books for LibreOffice that I could include? (in TheOpenCD times we had a flash tutorial made by "Global Training Services", but the company seems to be bankrupt now) 5. Any Tutorials / Free Books for The GIMP that I could include? (in TheOpenCD times we used Grokking the GIMP, but it is too outdated now) -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

My current difficulties with project Qumble: 1. No Free OSS/Java for Windows. Libre office keeps constantly warning users and complaining about lacking Java. No known way to silence it up. But there is *no* OSS Java for Windows. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html 2. WebM -- how to recode videos (from MPEG and WMV) to WebM ? Any Free GUI program for this task ? If not, any non-Free? If not, any non-GUI ? 3. I'm looking to integrate Sumatra PDF. "Sumatra PDF is a Free PDF, XPS, DjVu, CBZ and CBR reader for Windows. It is very small, light-weight and starts up very fast." In fact I have even filled TheOpenCD-style Review Form for this software: http://qumble.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6 Anybody can help me write a better description for Sumatra PDF? All in all I hope to achieve a production quality stable release of Qumble in several weeks. (without help it will take months) Thanks in advance, -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

It's downloading, albeit extremely slowly, my torrent client doesn't appear to support UDP trackers, but even if it did i'm not sure openbittorrent.org works for me, isn't there a decent FOSS only tracker we could use? You may even want to kill off the torrent and just grab a sourceforge project so that you can use their mirror system, i'd suggest using the old opencd one but i'm afraid that's not an option at the moment.

(without rating limitation) I will also appreciate, if you can diff resulted DVD against the original ones you own. Details and torrent file is on http://www.navratil.cz/SFD2011/ After testing and with seeding of many of us, we can put the torrent file on official web and share with everyone.

Hello Phil ! I'm happy to meet you here. I know you're one of the original OpenCD developers, and if you're looking for a real child project, which follows TheOpenCD's spirit, look and feel, then Qumble is for you. I have copied everything: source code, software selection decision process, website, *everything*. But updated and brang fresh wind quite a lot in many places. Just rebranded as "Qumble", but I have retained original contributors such as you and Henrik. I believe that original TheOpenCD is the best so far, because it targeted quality, rather than quantity and put much more effort into chosen projects. Unfortunately both TheOpenCD, and it's child, TheOpenDisc are dead projects. I have a test version of Qumble available: http://qumble.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2 Give it a try! Best wishes, -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

I see, on your SFD wiki page, that you have a table with a column titled "Proprietary alternative", this doesn't seem entirely helpful, comparing things like bluefish and gimp to dreamweaver and photoshop(which you appear to have used in the design of your website, GIMP no good?) may be a little misleading, and suggesting that the "proprietary alternative" to FreeCiv, a Civilization clone, is age of empires is rather amusing. You appear to be be hoovering up every possible free app, including complicated and potentially dangerous utilities(a windows password cracker, really?), rather than being selective and providing only the best quality tools that the open source world has to offer, try to make sure that the apps you distribute are at the very least well tested, user friendly and genuinely open source. I'm curious about Alice and GCOMPRIS, i believe the latter is crippleware on windows, has this changed or will you be building your own distribution for the platform to get around the limitations? Alice looks interesting but just how free is it, i see EA and their Sims IP are involved, is the content open too or just the engine source? Your project appears to be over a year old, the sourceforge project was started on 2010-08-03, that doesn't sound like a couple of days back. Maybe you should consider creating a swiss army knife system utility boot disc distribution and splitting some of your apps into that, rather than including them with a Windows Free software distro.
