Project Gutenberg DVD Release Candidate now available for testing
Hi all. Finally, I have a release candidate of the new Gutenberg DVD available for testing. Currently, it is only available via BitTorrent. Please download and test, and let me know if you find any bugs. At this point, I'm not looking for suggestions on which new titles to add, but any other feedback is welcome and appreciated. I would not yet recommend distribution of this DVD image for any purpose other than testing. Please do not seed this torrent after April 30, because by then, we should have an official version available. This image is an .iso for a dvd-9, so you will either need a way to open or mount .iso files, or a dual layer DVD burner. You can download the torrent via the following magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:JB4PMPIXNTYMFCUZABAYYTX56JWQINPI or if your client doesn't speak magnet links, you can download the torrent file from: http://www.fireantproductions.com/pgdvd201004-rc1.torrent Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

Thanks, Aaron. This is beautifully done - congratulations! Has a link checker been run on this? I quickly found a missing file via file:///PGDVD_2010_04_RC1/etext/3002.html and wonder whether some filetypes or other content might not have made it. I am really impressed at the number of titles! I have temporarily put the ISO here: http://pglaf.org/PGDVD201004-RC1/ ...but don't try to download via HTTP unless you have a fast 'net connection. Use the .torrent instead. And you can browser the disc contents here (fast connection not needed): http://pglaf.org/PGDVD201004-RC1/content/ Thanks again! I will confirm this burns onto a DL DVD. -- Greg
