Today I acquired...........

Obviously sharing copyrighted material would be illegal and inadvisable, but assuming these manuals are free - something like a free dropbox or wetransfer account set up, so all he has to do is log in and upload the files, might be the best way to do this. I would imagine. Not that I'd condone that sort of thing at all.

I see your point, but I doubt the bloke on eBay is an authorised re seller of dealer only info

Good offer of Carsten. If Bob does donate it for all, maybe a whip round to reimburse his £30 wouldn’t be a bad thing. I’ll put some in.

Whether this material is (still) copyrighted I can't say - I only know for sure that the eBay.co.uk seller @8ob got it from is certainly not and never was the copyright holder.

One problem with these "free" hosting services, of course, is that they either slap their watermark on every page and - even if not - of course get paid in data.

Further difficulty: @8ob asked about how to conjure up the data on a USB stick, so obviously needs assistance - is there anyone with PC skills near him?

I would help with the space from where to download and put some in for @8ob.

They aren't hosting services, no watermarks.
They allow you to transfer files of any type, which are too large to email, and/or share them with a selected number of individuals.

A handy solution for when somebody asks you to "just email me" that 3 GB file.

I reckon I could get this info onto a USB stick without too much grief, problem I have is knowing how many giggagiblets the files are so I can get a USB stick the right size. Obviously too small is no good but too big looks a tad expensive. Anyway of finding the file size?

A few drinks for Me, Martine and Norbert.

right click the file and click "properties" it gives you the size there

What kind of computer and operating system do you use?

Go to This Pc, right-click - properties.

None too shabby according to the guy that sorts out all our pooter problems. Its full of bits but god knows what they are

Anyway, files total 800mb so can I assume a 1gb usb stick will suffice?

Yes it will.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

Acquired these sas clamps, range from 7' to 4', the t section ones are missing the end stop and a few are missing pins, but they were free, rescued from the scrappy from a local joinery place.

If anyone has any of the ends they'd part with I'd be interested, record no. 136.

 

[8ob]

Yes it will.

Ok, I will buy some and try

You can use Carstens web space in the same way. To save buying and posting them. People can just download the 800mb to their own stick?

I’m sure Carsten can password it or something so only those who’ve bunged in the hat can download it?

 

[drjim]

I'd be interested in the Stihl manuals, have a MS180 that never works and have a plan to take it to bits myself rather than sending it back to the expensive place for a service yet again. Taking to bits non destructively would be better with the manual!

If it helps I would provide a piece of webspace for a certain period of time so that anyone interested here on the forum can get it from there ...
... I would upload it and give the link here ...

How big is it?

And how do we get it to me?



Carsten

Sounds easier, how do we go about that? The whole package which includes workshop manuals,users manuals and spares manuals for blowers,chainsaws,hedgecutters and concrete saws is 800mb

There are youtube videos for most if your not sure of the sequence while you await a book ofwords

 

[drjim]

I can't do the watch a video thing, just want to skip through, need the pics of key steps not all the waffling and subscribe to my channel crap. Can read an instruction manual though.
