NBO = Normal Business Operations
COB = Close Of Business

I thought *everybody* used these notations

<< Anybody figure out how to get it open without photoshop or any of that fancy stuff? I've waited for 15 minutes with both MS Image preview and image editor. (Don't have Adobe installed) Nothing yet. It worked for a while but I have just the top bar and no image. >>

IrfanView Text

[Goosemaster]

WOW! THat site is great! I'm getting and average of 500KB/s ..sometimes 600...nice speed man....

 

[statetech]

Man, been going through the thread and finally found a place to DL this sucker at

notfred, would it be possible for you to update your original (1st) post to reflect some info. *could* help. I know these servers are dynamic since ppl are taking them up and down. How about what to search for on Kazaa?

Here's where I'm downloading and at what speed.

<< I found this link, has the pics on there.
ftp://visibleearth.nasa.gov/pub/EARTHVIZ/

Here is another NASA site with the images...
ftp://sdcd.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/EARTHVIZ/ >>

from sdcd and according to ws ftp, I'm getting "1.02 Mbps" is that 1meg/sec or 100 KB/sec?


http://penguin.vcsa.uci.edu/clinares/

from above, getting 264 KB/sec

Like previous posts said, don't hammer the servers too hard
I'm sharing them on Kazaa as soon as I get them since I'm on a school's network but will have to leave in a hr or so. Will share again Fri after math exam

I've tried it on two machines. One with 256 megs of Ram, the other with 640 megs. Both have 1.5 Gig swap file. I get the thing "Loaded" in Paint Shop Pro 7, but all I get is black. I tried using Microsloth PhotoDraw, but it crashes. Any ideas what to view this thing with so that you can pan and zoom?

[MoFunk]

I would like in on this as well. Thanks.

 

[Electrode]

[CoDerEd]

Yeah the CD version will be much easier,
don't mind paying extra for it.
You can make a business from that CD.

 

[Rhodenator]

I knew what NBO and COB meant, but what is "ATOT"? For the MENTAL Cases like myself, please explain

and...I can't seem to get the file ANYWHERE...

[markjrubin]

<< Me want!! >>

 

[AZGamer]

You guys are gonna kill my server.

Anyway, many asked for what in general the detail level is. Keep in mind this is compressed, but it can be seen somewhat here at this link

 

[tphong]

<< I'll paypal a couple of bux to have you send me the cd-rom version.


<----------Lives in the sticks. 28.8 Dialup. >>



Yes, how 'bout a few bux via paypal and you send me the cd?

 

[smokey7722]

Ok, this is pissing me off, who can I paypal to send both tif images to me on cd, or where in the world can i actually download this??? It never shows up in Kazaa, Morpheus, iMesh, or any of the others, all links posted I can't find the file in, because the file has been taken down or too busy....

 

[TheWart]
