    I'm truly sorry for asking this but why ask for something to be shared in private?
    I could totally understand if it was pr0n related :confused: but this thread is not pr0n related!

    The point with this thread was to share with all, not to beg only (maybe), tho any requests should be given if available (but i don't see you'r helping too much) and, to be honest, adding a selfish attitude to the thread.

    Btw, as written in PM, if I have them/or find them i will share them.
    In public.

    Thank you for your stubbornness, I hope you will always remember what you are saying now
    I'm too lazy to argue with others, but there is one thing you should know, everyone has their own ideas, you can't expect everyone to be like you,
    :D

    With the huge help from @Shwarc , look at #1 and tell me again about my stubborness.
    In details, kindly.
    We all are at some point, i'm not different than you so totally understood.
    I sincerely hope so.
    Never expected or wanted, my friend.

    #1 has been written very clearly. You have been to these places. What else can you let most people provide you? Go to the online shopping platform to buy the missing CD? I believe that people who are able to buy have a purpose.
    This is obviously unrealistic.

    Help you dump a clean ISO? You should write a tutorial to provide tools, and, at this point, there are already conflicts of opinion in the forum, just like a question, there is no correct answer, is your conclusion correct, or is the conclusion of others correct?

    Is there a set of guidelines that can be provided to everyone so that everyone can follow them? Obviously, there is none at present. Have you ever thought about these questions?

    I will be more than happy to discuss any issues with you.
    Any examples you like to challenge me on?

    Not yet. I will discuss it after your conclusion comes out. These old-fashioned things have no reliable basis to support them. 99% of the files are reprinted on the Internet in a basic mode of "download, process, upload".

    Finally, a small suggestion, if your file can be made into an svf file like "EN to XX", it will save a lot of time for uploading to your network disk. If there is a file that needs to be replaced, you only need to simply replace the single file.

    Indeed they are but you suggest something different?
    Lay it out. Please :)
    Repos are available, you can redistribute them with your own naming scheme.
    I don't mind at all and to be honest, if your suggestions proves to be better, i think that would be awesome.
    Truly.
    :)

    This is a good strategy, at the same time, lot's of images is missing and making a repo as small as possible (that's the purpose with delta's), a EN to XX is not a favourable approach in this context.
    Tell me how to distribute it and correcting some images without ruin the hole layout, and at the same time keeping it as small as possible?
    You should now that since you obviously know your way around SmartVersion.

    I don't understand what you mean by this sentence. What kind of suggestions do you mean?
    I don't have the habit of republishing other people's work, no matter in what form.

    That explains the sharing issue. I respect that.
    Cool.
    But you are committed to "suck" up whatever is lined up on a silver platter?

    Because that is someone else's work, I don't want to plagiarize
    As for the sharing issue you mentioned, sharing is a good thing, but it cannot harm the interests of others. I have said this in my previous reply. Just like what you wrote in #1, I have been to the places you have been to, so there is no need for me to bring out the same things again....
    It doesn't make much sense for you to download the same thing as me uploading it. It just wastes your time. That's how I understand it.

    It's cool.
    Update it yourself.

    Hello,

    before this topic gets out of hand, here's a friendly reminder. MDL is a platform to research, learn, educate oneself and share the findings with others. It is, however, NOT a shop where you can just order and get the finished result on a silver plate. That's not how it works, nobody here works for other users. It's all a giving and taking. So, for anyone who prefers to come here and then starts begging, please do actually some research by yourself, first. There is a huge wealth of information and guides already stored here (first posts of every topic, especially the pinned ones), plus plenty of links and hints on how to fetch the rest. Also, don't be shy to make extensive use of the Search feature, that's why it exists.

    I hope I made myself crystal clear. Now, everyone, please calm down, and get this topic back on track. Thank you.

    No one comes here to ask for anything. The same data, but asking for anything is meaningless. I just posted a document with an outdated link, and it was defined like this. If this is the case, I think it is better not to ask questions in the MDL forum, even if it is just one word. I agree with your words, I will edit it out.
    :D

    Note I did not address you specifically. Just trying to keep the topic on the rails. We unfortunately had enough flame wars in the past, don't need more of them. This reminder was for everyone here, frustration is a very bad condition to be in when posting in a community. Everyone feeling frustrated or angry, step back, calm down, and only then start posting again, there is no deadline.

    Cheers.

    Edit: Want that empty post to be deleted?

    It seems that I am not suitable to speak in this thread. I just downloaded your great contribution and created a single file checksum. I don't have the habit of storing the same data, so there is no "request" or "beg" from others. I have edited the link. I will not reply to this post. Please delete my reply today and in the past to keep this article clean.
    :bye1:

    That's not what I said and not what I meant. We do not restrict who can post where.

    @wvv000 @Sajjo @vanelle @Carlos Detweiller

    I don't fully share your point of view.
    1) Most newbies register to find something they don't have. And if you actively fight "leeches", then soon there will be no one on the forum.
    2) "Empty topics" There are a lot of requests and messages around the same thing. If we organize the known hash sums of ISO images, exe files, etc. and publish links, then they will stop being discussed. Everyone will stop creating "Empty" "Identical" topics.
    (This is the most effective way to fight "leeches". - Please download, this is already known and there is a link.)
    And then they will start discussing what is not there and what is relevant.

    1) Of course, people come here to find something they miss. I understand that. However, even then, it is still better to ask nicely and then get the link or hint on how to achieve the goal, instead of starting to beg and b*tch from the start, don't you think?
    It's mainly not about what they need, but how they ask for it. And then, there are so many accounts registering, downloading anything they want, then requesting deletion, which is their one and only post.
