Default Links for Disk I (Windows 95 OEM SR2 + Original Retail version)

Runing Firefox V.2, I didn't even have to close all the browser
windows, just close the FilePost tab after each download and manually
delete its cookies from the preferences window. I managed to have
about fifteen downloads going at once, which makes the slow speed
work a bit more practically. The CAPTCHAs were driving me cross-eyed
towards the end though.


Interesting. I've tried to start several simultaneous downloads from
filepost in the past, each using a different browser, and it always
seems to detect that I already have one started and won't let me start a
second one. Probably looking at my IP address and it knows how many
download sessions you have going.

I know that even when finished, it won't let me start another one for
several hours - unless I change my IP address (don't even look for or
delete any cookies - just change the IP address makes it work again).

By the way, for captcha's that include 2 words, where one of them is a
screwy twisted and distorted word and the other is just a plain
easy-to-read word, you only have to enter the screwy word to solve the
captcha.

I wonder if it's a country-specific strategy it uses.

Anyways -

Does anyone want any other MS software CD's uploaded?

NT4 or Windows 2000?

Office 2000 Premium SR2?

Map Point?

Back Office stuff?

Visual Studio?

Like Mitt Romney once said - I have Binders full of Software.
