bookfast.org hosting many goodies back on line

[kacir]

The site http://bookfast.org/ is back on-line at this moment.
There are lots of interesting themes, dictionaries, games, and other PocketBook related goodies there.

So, download what you can, while you can ;-)

The site is in Russian, but translate.google.com does decent job translating the site.

When I try to download anything I get:
Access forbidden (error 403)

I do not see registration links somewhere (with google translation).
Help possible ?

I'm getting the same error when clicking the link. You shouldn't have to register. I've downloaded previously from there and never had to register before. They've been down for a while so they may be just getting back online. The message you see on the 403 page is from their web hosting company.

I could imagine that you need to use a Russian IP now.
Otherwise, just use provided mirrors (-> Зеркало).

Very good. The mirrors work great. Using the translated link above makes everything painless.

Great, thanks for the Tip. Karma to u

EDIT:
I tried to download, but i am not able to do so on ifolder.
I see the file, but no link appears. When I enter the site via google.translate I see acaptcha field. But entering the correct number results in an error. When i enter the site normally the captcha does not appear.

Too bad because i see a lot of usefull things on there.

I can download when i do "Right click -> Save target as" (seems to work on the mainlinks, not at the ones marked as "mirror")

Did u try to open the downloaded file ?

[JimMcLaren]

Clicking on the mirror link takes me to rapidshare. Clicking on the free user button takes me to the download page where I wait 30 seconds to download. Not all of the files have a mirror link.

@Schnitzelbrain: I didnt try before. But the files doesnt have the content they should have, you are right there IS something wrong.

Checked again today and the translation via google was fine (and the two other translators I tried)...not sure why they didn't work before (same computer, etc).

Does anyone know if there's an 'encyclopedic dictionary' in English?

[Ulli]

The only thing i can imagine with "encyclopedic dictionary" is Wikipedia.
Its possible to view this on PB (there was link in the forum).

But its a great idea to port this as a dictionary! If this can be done automatically, i will try to do this Otherwise we would need many helpers.

Encyclopedic dictionaries... Maybe Encarta?
