2005 Kickoff File Mirror

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Everyone knows that FIRST's server is very bogged down on the day of kickoff. To eliminate some of that, I've set up a mirror for all of the unencrypted manuals posted on their site. We will also have a high quality video of the kickoff captured from a nasa tv satelite broadcast. (gotta get daves response first) All of this is being served off a fast connection.

heres the link

Please, help FIRST out and use this mirror, or set up your own.

We've got it up here, too. It's one zip with all 10 (encrypted included) sections.

Is Sevaa.com prepared for the spike in traffic?

I've contacted them about this.

Once I get the unencrypted ones on saturday I'll put them up at http://www.csupomona.edu/~dwblack/2005manual/

Or just for kicks I can put them on my Macintosh SE web server and maybe two people could each download one file at a time.

If it wasn't so much work to do, I would put them on my Mac SE server just to see if it can hande the load. The reason it is a bit or work is that is does not support directory listings so I would have to make an HTML page with all the links.

If you have downloaded the manuals, I suggest reading section 7. That is all I want to say.

Perhaps you should say something about that here:

(Note that if you wish to get yourself a binder and/or tabs, there are a total of eleven sections in this year's manual)

and there seems to only be 10 files....

[Elgin Clock]

And all of the files still say 2004 at the bottom.. Oops..
