I have given some thought to translations of the directions.

I am not sure they are stable enough yet.

But the re-director is setup to handle multiple direction addresses, just in case we ever do have more than a single language set of directions.

We don't have a server location in South America yet.
When we do, then Spanish might get a lot of use.

French would see a lot of use from our European clients.

But at the moment, I am working on getting better coverage to Europe (thinking in addition to our western server, one in east and one in southern).

These complete image files are large, you don't want to be too far away from the server if you want same-day delivery.

I was thinking about the German and Spanish thread on this forum.
Are we talking about the same thing?

Yes.
But since this is a public forum, a little additional disclosure on this sub-topic may be useful.

Well the offer stands....
I thought about it when the poor German posted down there lost like hell jailbreaking (or trying whatever you want to call it ) his K4 and giving up in the end.
Anyhow now you know the possibility is there.

It's midnight here ....and I can hear the bar is calling....X_x

Translations would be great assuming you can stick around to update the translations as the English version gets updated.

Perhaps with a note that the original instructions are still changing/getting updated, at least until they stop changing -- that way if the alternate-language instructions are less up to date, readers will have a chance to struggle through the up to date English version.

...

@knc1, very cool redirection magic.

I sure hope nobody was relying on that pastebin index page and the addresses for the downgrade files it once had.
Note: "once had"

Because they are all gone.

No more grabbing just OUR files, without a chance to read the OUR directions.

Of course, the files can still be copied and placed somewhere else on the 'net if someone wishes (and people do, the new links have been in-use for bulk downloads).
I saved copies of the pastebin at various times when it was stable (including today before removing the downgrade URLs from it). The mediafire files were moved to a subfolder pending deletion, and new files have been uploaded to get new hashed URLs (same filenames and contents as before, but different URLs).

I am thinking we should put the NEW URLs from the first post in the pastebin, so anybody going there will get the redirect to this thread. Just a thought -- though the URL of this thread is still in the pastebin header.

EDIT: I just tested a URL from the old saved pastebin, and the URL still works even after the file was moved to a subfolder on mediafire. That folder and all the old URLs will go bye-bye soon.

That would be an awful lot of numbers.

I just added what is supposed to be the #1 International file distributor (Primary).

Russia's #2 file share site is ready to go, once the USD gets over there (maybe a day from now).

Russia's #1 file share site did not have direct from URL upload.
Russia's #2 did, and it got the job done from us-west-coast to russia in less time than the supposed #1 file distributor did.

Recall that pastebin page got duplicated on another public page sharing site, and they ignored our requests to take it down.

That is the one we know of.

For weeks now we have been getting people here with problems and questions that make it clear they have never seen our directions.

And only one or two of those people where willing to post a link to the directions they where following.

Also - keep in mind this is an ad-supported site.

Every one of those links that are copied somewhere and then clicked - more ad revenue for Alex.

PS: Don't try to read those directions with your ad-blocker disabled and not logged in here.

Just the other day they had an 'Instant Download' ad right at the top of it -
I wonder how many people where mis-lead by that bit of advertising.

And I am seeing a lot of activity from the copy on the site's home page, almost more than from this forum thread.

Gee, it is nice to finally have for-real server logs on what is happening.

It is a machine translation - could you please provide a better one for us?

There are a lot of 4pda.ru users landing on that post.

Yes, I've made a Russian instruction, here it is:

obviously, with a reference to this great thread in the top.

Added.
Thank you for that help text translation.

And I am setting up a Russian mirror, so you don't have to go all the way to France for your files.
Someday, RSN.
Just a few more details to be worked out.

The links for the Russian server are now listed.
The files are there but the download speed is limited to a very slow rate.

The speed limit will be released (along with the interactive panel, the time delays, the captcha, etc.) as soon as the International payment process completes (maybe a day or two).

This is an impressively fast server on Hurricane Electric's 10gig fiber backbone, southwest of Moscow.
(Most of the servers I select myself are on HE's backbone (even the Dreamhost Cloud) ).
