CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

[Woody-202]

I’m at a loss with the consipiracy theories. No indication at all there’s anything wicked happened to the owner.

Absent him coming forward with concerns...it’s nonsensical speculation.

He drove down to Mike's Radio Repair, picked Mike up, and the two have been drinking beer and fishing in an undisclosed location....

You started by saying you didn't want to debate the thing.....and then you went right ahead & did just that...

You said you had numerous copies of the file on thumbs. I gave you numerous valid reasons why I wanted/needed. I offered to pay for one. Seems simple enough to old school me. But I guess you just don't want to sell me one. That's fine. Cb tricks has gone down for very long periods of time w/no backup that I was aware of or had access to. What's available on way back machine is seriously lacking. And I searched & tried hard to find what I needed. If I had a copy of it and a serious cb worker needed it, I would give it to him. You're entitled not to. I have used the info & data from cbtricks, using my phone only, for years since my last computers died & I had to give up the cable internet, but I'm being told here that I cannot effectively use it w/my phone. Guess I'm delusional. I guess that's that. Oh well

You still don’t seem to get it. Maybe the following will work...

First Post: "Normally I wouldn’t mind sending you copy for merely the cost of the flash, but any packages going in and out of this household nowadays is based strictly on life support items."

Second Post: "I’m not shipping anything that’s non-essential at this time."

Final Post: At my age I usually don't sell anything, I GIVE THINGS AWAY. I’m not going into any buildings during this pandemic such as the post office PERIOD WHY? Over half of the people in this town are ignorant and refuse to wear a mask.

I was just simply trying to give you the "best method" or in your case an "alternative" to mailing. For downloading purposes, buy or borrow a computer and drive to the nearest free internet service. WHY IS THAT SO DIFFICULT! Furthermore, plenty of folks on this forum including myself would be glad to post any information they have on a particular radio, but I must admit that I’ll be hesitant with any future correspondence with you. IMO this topic has already been overly covered to the point of nausea. Your insistent begging and negative attitude towards me has turned me sour. Hopefully the next person I try to help will be satisfied.

I don't care who is right or wrong. Take it to PM before you get this locked. Please.

Yes please. This has gone off the rails.

I agree...Be done with the present tone Gentleman. I made this a Sticky to stop the ever-present 3-4 thread duplications of the same topic.
Return to the topic and stop the politics and "personal" observations, please.
This is the Only warning you will receive!
Thank You.
All the Best

Oh, I also see "quote", "like" & "tools".....but no "PM".

Tap on the persons name and then click " start a conversation"

 

[Nowurtalkin222]

Didn't see anything that says "start a conversation", but it did say "write something", which I did, but now you don't confirm for me, either in that space, or this space. I guess I'll try someone else. Thanks anyway

Rename the file extension from .zip to .torrent

cbtricks.rar.zip --> cbtricks.rar.torrent

I have FIOS 500/500, so I have plenty of bandwidth.
Once enough seeds have it, I will kill it at my end.

Also, I am on a VPN through Atlanta, so no ISP Police.

Now would be a good time to mention this again.

Wow, 500/500...must be a blast to have. Looks like it's not all that expensive either, but times are tough.. I haven't had a pc for years. Totally depend on phone for all, but I do recall trying to learn torrenting way back when... mostly because I have some very exclusive concerts that I recorded live in the 80s and yrs later, I was trying to learn how to digitize & remaster the tapes, then convert to torrents & upload to some bootleg sites, as well as I did some torrent downloading. It was really hard for me to fully wrap my head around, but w/perseverence, I got alot done. Now, I don't remember much of any of that. Plus no pc anymore or home internet. Surprised to see "change zip to torrent. I assume the zip is not in torrent pkg form, so how can you just change the extention? What service does the conversion? Prolly me just not knowing how it works. Anyway, my question is: is there any way to get the torrent dwnldd to a USB desk drive with tons of room but no pc, only my phone. I have the adapter to connect phone to drive but not a huge amount of space on phone storage. That's why I had hoped to just get a thumb for safekeeping in case things went sour for cbt. I might pick up a cheap lappy or a tablet because my carrier offers me 12 gigs of hotspot from my phone. But until if/when I do that, do you see any possibilities w/what I noted above?

Thanks. I don't see anything like that at the top of the page. Using a mobile. I do see my non icon by my posts & I clicked on that & it went to a profile thingy but no convo starter. But I also see if I tap on someone else's icon, then yes, there is the "start conversation" field, which I've now used. I don't know what you mean by clicking my own icon....to start a convo with myself? Lol. The other thing I ran into earlier and don't get, is I clicked on someone's icon and also where it says so & so person replied to you & his name is there, in red I think, and clickable but when I clicked on either of those, instead of the page with "start conversation" it went to a different page that said "write something here". I tried it but don't know where it goes?

 

[NZ8N]

.torrent files are not in the "allowed" list, and was blocked every time I tried to upload it. So, I changed the extension from .torrent to .zip.

So would I need a tracker to connect to you to dwnld?
