If you don't have a filepost account, then select the "Low Speed
Download" link, wait for the count-down, answer the captcha, and then
download the file. Each of the above files is about 48 mb in size,
except the last file will be smaller.

You can only download one file at a time if you don't have a filepost
account. When the download is finished you can immediately start
downloading the next file only if you are able to change your IP
address, which is usually possible if you disconnect and then reconnect
your DSL or cable modem. If you don't want to do that, or if your ISP
normally doesn't change your IP assignment when your internet connection
goes down, then you'll have to wait for some time (sometimes an hour,
sometimes a day) between downloads.

If filepost spawns other browser windows as you click on those links, it
will be harmless advertising and you can close them immediately. I
already block them with hosts file entries so offhand I don't recall
what a "non-immunized" visit to filepost looks like.

You will need winrar to decompress these files. I don't know if winzip
will do that. When the process is finished, you will have this file:

WINDOWS_95.ISO (308 mb).

You can burn that to a CD-R, or use a program like WinImage
(http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm) to extract the files from the
ISO.

Changing IP address is not so necessary after all to start downloading with the default 30 second wait. You do need to close all browser windows and then delete cookies and history though.

All 9x Windows installation CDs were convertible to floppy installation disks except for ME and with no small amount of troubles 98, but 95 is a breeze to do this way. You'll need to use FDformat.exe to format the floppies to an extreme size that will hold just exactly the size of the CAB files found on the 95 installation CD and suddenly you have a set of floppies that will install Windows - just that easy, the first disk contains all the files in the Win95 folder that are not cab files, again sized exactly to fit one of these specially formatted floppies. More details that I have forgotten exist within this group, search for me, search for FDformat and eventually with luck you'll find the original post where all the finer details show how to do both 95 and 98. ME was so big it wouldn't fit on floppies so MS gave up on this idea that mostly nobody even knew about in the first place. I do have a set of the first 95 on floppy from MS - it's a whittled down version of 95a and you don't even want it in the first place, it's been whittled down so far. 95c is where you want to be if using 95 anyway and you can do that with floppies.

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?

That's what I'd expect them to do, but my IP address never changes (all
sorts of things would tell me if it did). Perhaps it's some protection
to stop people newly assigned "used" IPs from having to wait after the
last IP user downloaded something. No idea what the logic if behind not
applying it to everyone though.

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).


In Firefox V.2 (and I think V.3 as well) it's in preferences under
sercurity, or privacy (the machine I'm on dosn't have it to check).
You can bring up a window showing current cookies arranged in folders
per originating website and a button at the bottom lets you delete them.

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.


Yeah, shame it isn't the other one.

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


If it is, that's a strange win for Australia...


I had a look in my usual places for better deals on free file uploading...

bayfiles.net gives you 5GB and is done by the Pirate Bay founders, which is
security in a way. Should be able to upload the whole ISOs in one.

http://www.filehosthome.com/
Great source for working your way through the various deals. There are some
amazing free options out there if you know where to look (and are willing to
work through the duds).

Anyways -

NT4 would be nice if you wouldn't mind. I've only got one NT disc in my
collection. On the other hand I've never put it to use, but I'd download
another release if you put it up. Probably at the end of next month, to
use up the extra internet allocation (that's if I remember in time, I've
got something on that weekend).


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


I've just got threatoning piles of plastic cased perils lurking in various
places between old pieces of computing near (and not so near) history. The
trick is making sure they never become structural!

Yes you can, but you ought not to. This captcha is a dual-use service
offered by Internet Archive and later Google books. It offers one user a
captcha for his site and the scanning service a human confirmation of
dubious words. That's why this part is made as easy to read as possible.
As we all profit by those digitisation efforts, it's only fair to do
that little bit to help.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Though at least some of the second words
are used by Google to confirm that newly generated distorted CAPTCHAs are
readable, and hence suitable to use as key words on future CAPTCHAs. That's
how their system works.

A year or so ago a bunch of hackers tried to fool the system by running
enough IPs to log new CAPTCHAs with the wrong name. The aim being to
introduce enough wrongly named CAPTCHAs into the system that their computers
could automatically detect them and get in by using the false name. Then
they could put a message in a top 100 poll in The Times or something.

It failed though, Google must have noticed. In the end they made a script
to fill in the CAPTCHA forms and manually did each one. It worked, but
the exercise still proved the abilities of the CAPTCHA system as it never
failed.

I sound like a Google salesman...

Actually no worries. I'll grab it from "oscollect.old-dos.ru"
which seems to be back up.

I'm trying to upload the following right now (see below). I don't know
if I'm going to have to pack them as .rar or if I can leave them as
..iso. I'm uploading them each as a single file (over 500 mb in size).

So with any luck, by 5 or 6 pm EST tonight I'll be able to post some

How do you use that? I tried, and I just got

ftp://old-dos.ru
Loginscollect
Passscollect

Pass may be changed! See this page.

I then tried ftp://old-dos.ru, and was prompted for a login and pass, so
put oscollect in both, and it said they weren't right 503.
