CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

The problem I noticed with what I just downloaded is I have a boatload of the new pages that are blank. I don't know what I can safely delete because in order to access the material I need to click on the index file, and that brings up the website. Then it can be navigated. BUT, I believe all the extra folders and files is what the index is accessing.
Thats what is happening with all the mirror sites lots of blank and missing pages are missing. I'm sure in time all the mirror sites are going to go missing and then all will be lost. Why can't Bennie give the site to someone and new owner can host it with a paid membership that will help keeping it alive. And Also have a section for all members to post new information. He has played with this on and off for the past 7 years. I also have a good 13.3gb copy of the 2019. I guess nothing is free anymore. If I posted this 13.3gb file for download I would have to charge for the file and download as where I post my large files I have to pay a monthly fee, nothing free any more.

Do you have it in .pdf or, what?
It wont be PDF it will be html. and when clicked on the html it will load up in your browser like the original web site. Then best is to copy the individual page as a pdf. this will take a long time to do. But atleast you can view off line with no internet.

I can provide an FTP location on this server where you can upload the whole thing. Then I can start working on icorporating the content here.

When I mirrored that site, I too had issues with missing files. I am sure I had the mirror program set right too. Luckily, I had a mirror of the original site (2017 I think) and it seems to have all the missing files. The majority of them were mirrored as pdf's (as I added that and images etc to the mirror settings) so schematics etc open in the browser as pdf files. Size on mine is 16GB. I am willing to upload it if someone tells me where.

Do you have google drive you could upload there if you have the 100gb plan. Or you can split the file in 4 files with winrar or zip and post to free sites like this that allows 5gb per file. https://transfer.pcloud.com/
I have google drive, but it is only the free version with 15gb. That website looks like I need to share the upload with an email address, it does not look like something that gives me a link to share with many people.

Well the best is to use your google drive and split the file to 4 files with winrar and upload the 4 files of 4 gb each to equal the 16gb file then peps can zip it back to 1 file. takes 5 minutes to make the 4 files it will ask you how much gb for each file.

Why are we doing this the hard way when I offered an FTP to uoload the whole thing?

Makes sense to me that this is the way to go! I have the 9GB file but there are some missing pages that pull up to blank websites. My copy must have been made as he was tearing it down.
