Ryba777,

Thanks for all your uploads. I think you set the standard nowadays, at least for the sort of stuff I like, and the way you present it here. As well as saying thank you, which I should do more often, I wanted to say that I think more people download than the figures say. I have thought for many months that downloads are not fully recorded. I downloaded stuff and hours later, it did not show as completed. I thought perhaps the system only recorded it say the next day. But I downloaded The Occult Properties of Herbs and Plants (1969) - thank you - and it did not show. That was a week ago. Later, I saw that other people were downloading it. Today, it still says that the number completed is zero, which I take to mean that no-one has downloaded this, which is patently untrue.

Some of your uploads get more than 1,000 completions. But if what I think is true, it's possible that for some or all of your uploads, even more people have downloaded them. Anyway, keep up the good work, and again, many thanks.

I commented several hours ago that this, uploaded one week ago, still had zero completions. Now suddenly, it says 1178 completions. So, miracles can happen.

Or you can just refresh the tracker stats. Select the torrent, click the "Trackers" tab, then click "Fresh Scrape".

OK Thanks, I did not know that. But in this case, more than 1,000 people downloaded this over the course of a week, and I refreshed the page a few times. Are you suggesting that the reason it said zero completions all that week is that no-one had gone thro' the procedure you suggest?

Yes.

Nibs, OK. If that's what you say. But I've been coming to ConCen and Conspiracy Central since 2006, and I'd never heard of "Fresh Scrape" or the need to use that procedure. I imagine there are many other people who don't know about it either. Is there any reason the stats can't be updated in real time? Or say once a day? If someone takes the trouble to upload something and then thinks that a week later, not a single person has downloaded, he will assume there's no point in putting other stuff on. I assume you're not trying to run the site down. Please don't take this as a negative criticism.My only interest is in having a conspiracy website as healthy as possible. I think it was generally better 2 or 3 years ago. Friendlier and easier to use and with many more uploads. As it is now, it's certainly better than nothing. I just feel it could be improved.

It was added when we went to Drupal. The old site's button was called "Refresh" and worked the same way.

The torrents using the concen.org tracker are updated every half hour. Automating the external trackers requires extra code, which I currently don't have time for.

The old site had the same problem with external torrents. Also, the downloaded stat is always unreliable anyway because trackers frequently reset their counters.

The old site's code was buggy, resulting in the theft of the database. I'm hoping this system is more resistant to hacking. There are features on this new site which totally blow away the old site. Unfortunately I haven't had time lately to write up a proper FAQ or help system so that people are aware of them.

Well thanks then, Nibs, for the explanations. I wish you well in any attempt to improve the site.

I always remove trackers that are not the concen tracker ;\

Thx

The book has defective scans of certain print pages each missing a few words from one or two lines: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18.
(Rather odd error, presumably the words had been highlighted with marker pen and could not be captured by scanner, either that or the original printing was defective). Otherwise the scans needed layering to get rid of excessive grey background.
Cleaned up version now on libgen in processing, but better to see a good scan of the revised and enlarged 96pp 2nd edition of 1980.
