Posted by: tachyon on 2008-03-19 03:37:30
Thank you for purchasing the EDUCORP 8.0 Shareware CD-ROM. This is a two CD-ROM set containing over 1 Gigabyte of public domain and shareware software! The first disk contains all of the System 7.x compatible software

along with a HyperCard browser that will help you locate files, preview clip art, listen to sounds and more. The second disk contains the archived files of older software, demos, Best of Sets, and software that did not work properly under System 7.

Damn, I just realized you can't download them unless you upgrade your account.

The file you're attempting to access from a free MediaMax account exceeds the single-file limit of 10MB.

To access this file, please ask the account owner to upgrade the account. There are no file size limitations on Premium, Elite, or Professional plans.

What he said. I recommend switching to a different service, preferably one that doesn't remove files after a certain amount of time. And why .dmg files? Maybe you could have a format my Mac OS 9 powered G4 could use?
It's really annoying that all the Mac shareware single-archive collections other than Jag's Houses' own pub.zip are undownloadable after just a few hours. > 🙁

Any word from him yet? I've been dying for a bigger collection of sys. 6 shareware than the one on Jag's House (although that one is very impressive).

I am uploading now. I have about 2 hours till totally uploaded. He will give you a link and you will be able to download [😀] ]'>

Anyways, I am going to be going to the zoo, so I told him it will take about 2 hours (I think I did) or a bit more. But he will let you know.

one of them will be 226.2MB, the other will be 277MB. if he gives the download, and it's not that size, it's not done yet. Anyways, have fun!

Can you have these in .zip format? I'm an OS 9 user, so that's the only format I can use.

I am converting them to .sit right now. I had to pull out my lombard to do it, so it might take a while. I am extracting them from the images under OS X and then am going to boot to OS 9 to "stuff" them 😛

I will get them up A.S.A.P. and am actively working on it.

How about a .sea version? Then nobody needs any special software to decompress it.

Posted by: coius on 2008-03-22 15:01:53
whoa whoa. Don't throw me around in different formats. I need a format that can be served from a windows-based server, and you guys can't run me around on formats. I don't know if I Can do SEA, but I will try

the last thing I can do is an image

which was what I was thinking of. does .img work for downloads?

Uh... I kind of took those down. I will be uploading SEA so please edit those out. For those concerned, the total file size of both SEA archives, it will be a total of around 360 some Megabytes. I had some issues taking it from .dmg and putting them to .sea so I apologize. They should be up in the next hour 🙂

Posted by: coius on 2008-03-22 17:48:38
first one is up:

EduCorp1.sit

(195.5MB)

EDIT: Second one is up:

EduCorp2.sit

EDIT: Changed the file extension to ".sit" Should work now. If it doesn't download, do a right-click and "save-as" or "Save to location"

EDIT2: sorry, was alerted the files didn't work. you can now click the links above and get them

I know, that was just the first format that came to mind. 😛

Although this isn't my preferred method, I would still like to know how to do this. Is there a Mac-centric tutorial somewhere that you know of? Please refrain from using the term "google it" in your answer. [🙂] ]'>

Posted by: Gil on 2008-03-23 06:45:42
If you have the Bittorrent client, I believe it has a button that says "Make a Torrent" or something like that. You probably just select the file.
