It has been several years since I downloaded the .iso for their "complete collection" DVD and even longer since I downloaded the image for their "best of collection" CD. During that time, they have reorganized most of their collection, providing links in their weekly or monthly newsletters to individual texts rather than just pointing you to a page where you can search alphabetically by author or title. There are about 10,000 titles on the Gutenberg site, many in multiple formats, but I haven't looked at them or tried to download anything for months. I've never tried to download the full set with their peer-to-peer setup. I just know they have lots of stuff and like to share. They've got a hell of a resource for schools but nobody seems aware of it.
I detect some kind of schism in the ranks of Project Gutenberg, given that I find: http://promo.net/pg "This is the Official Project Gutenberg Web site" which seems not to have been updated in a couple of years. http://www.gutenberg.org/ "Project Gutenberg is the oldest producer of free ebooks on the Internet. Our collection was produced by hundreds of volunteers." which is an active site, last updated yesterday. I will try to get on their newsletter mailing list. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
