Steve's Christmas Assortment

I haven't been able to fully download this for some reason.  Every time the archive is corrupt.  Tried with a couple browsers.  Guess I'm on Santa's naughty list this year.

I don't know if you have "wget" program. This is one place to download it (March 2022):

https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/rel...-win64.zip

Then you could try at "CMD.EXE" terminal prompt or equivalent, or even better at Linux terminal:

Code: (Select All)

wget https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/attachment.php?aid=1205 -O xmas.7z

If the download is too slow or it stops for any reason, and you must cancel, continue it like this:

Code: (Select All)

wget --continue https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/attachment.php?aid=1205 -O xmas.7z

The "-O" is to give the downloaded file a real name, otherwise it tries to use the web address as the filename which isn't good. :/

I also tried to download directly from this forum and got a corrupted archive. So I tried again with "wget" and it was also faster. My top downloading speed is about 1.4MiB/sec.

Steve, could you split the archive into 50MB chunks ?
the download times out and you windup with a partial archive

One can also download this with QB64pe itself.

Since something seems off between the forums and our Linux users with downloading the files, I've also uploaded a copy over at my OneDrive, which you can try to download and enjoy:  https://1drv.ms/u/s!AknUrv8RXVYMm_Uh2wya...A?e=XIKRX8


Try that link out and let me know what happens for you.  I'm not certain why we're timing out with the forums.  They only take a few seconds to download for me with Windows.

That's quite a package you have there Steve! I remember last Christmas (or one before) how long it took to load music!

Now so much better. And now I have ear worms that sound like Bing Crosby dreaming of a White Christmas... thanks
