				Delica Manual OCR'd

				I spent a bit of time running all the manuals through an OCR process.  You can now search them for keywords.  Personally this has been something I've wanted for a while.
Only catch is that it is a pretty big file.  I don't know much about compressing PDF's.  Perhaps somebody else on the forum can try to compress it down to a more reasonable size.  
Either way, I wanted to share what I have so far.   Download with a torrent client.  Hopefully this proves useful to someone.

				Okay Jason, I thought you were going to e-mail this to me but no matter ~ I downloaded it and I need a new programme to read it ~ is there any programme that you recommend?

				Falco, I figured it could be shared for whom ever wanted an OCR'd copy.  I assume you can't open the torrent file to initiate the transfer?  I would recommend a program called Transmission:

				If you have the full version of acrobat there is a compression setting in that.  If not feel free to pm me as i can compress it and re-post it on the board.
Cheers!

				I'll seed it for a few months and after that I'll seed on request if anybody wants it.  Perhaps I could get it down in size and just offer a regular http download.  I for one am finding this very useful to be able to search through the manuals for keywords.  It has already saved me a lot of time.

				Okay, I went to the site to download and it gave me many options for Unix and Mac. Which one am I looking for that will work with XP?

				Don't know much about windows but I've heard this app is quite good:
http://www.utorrent.com/downloads
Sorry about that falco.  I assumed transmission was cross platform.  
Let me know if utorrent works.

				Utorrent works well for me. I'm using Windows 7 (I don't like downloading things on my Mac but don't mind if I accidentally give my pc a virus). Careful if you decide to use it for downloading other things since I have inadvertently downloaded a few viruses, not as many as with limewire though.

x2. It's going to take "infinity" time to download it. I don't want to wait that long

				Sorry guys, we're at the mercy of my bandwidth.  I just have a generic broadband account via shaw.
That is the beauty of a torrent though the more people the faster it goes.  Perhaps the 15 or so people that have downloaded so far could so graciously seed for a while?  
That said, when I get some time I will try to compress and get a more reasonable size file out there.  
So again sorry folks.  I'll try to figure out a way to compress when I get some time.  Not going to be for couple days though, I'm going to be at sombrio beach for a few days.  The torrent will be up should you want to download it.

				I'm not too worried about the file size. If/when my download is complete I will continue to seed it.
