A simpler way is to click on the link, get the 909
message, and then erase, from the link, the word 'aviation' and the two slash marks on either side. Hit 'go' and then you will be inside his web page and can find the aviation stuff there.

After rebooting computer 2, all I can get now is the 999 error. I even removed all the cookies geocities produced, but no joy. And computer 1 still refuses, with a 999 error. -John On Mar 10, 11:13 am, 'Wayne Paul' wrote: This is a strange problem. I was getting the error last night and I am currently getting it. However, I was able to download the files this morning at 6:00 AM. I had both problems; however, I found a work around. Clicking directly on the links resulted in the 999 error. Right clicking to save the file did not work. Then I right-clicked and selected 'copy link location'. I then opened up a second browser window and pasted the copied link into the new browser windows navigation panel. The Adobe Acro-Reader window came up allowing me to save it to disk. After that I can now click directly on the link and I do not get the 999 error. That's a strange one. I use Mozilla Browser. Jim DeRubeis |

This morning, magically, I was able to download all of the
presentations on both of my computers! The most frustrating thing is that I did absolutely nothing different from what I tried, unsuccessfully, previously. I'm guessing the problem lies somewhere in the "share" portion of the geocities web site (the place where the presentations actually reside), as I could always get the John's "presentations" page. John, my sincere thanks to you for writing these topics up. I found the "Wiring Avionics" presentation particulary useful - it was worth the geocities hassle! -John |

Boys,
I think that the problem is not the web page, per se, my content nor the size of my content. I think that it has to do with Geocities web server farm being overloaded, not just with my site but, with just the shear number of web sites hosted by this "free" vendor. Even though I pay for my web site (more capacity), it still gets bogged down with too many people trying to access too many sites. The larger the file you are trying to download, the more chance that your download will fail in midstream. Sorry for any inconviences. - John |

One other thought. As jcarlyle found out, downloading when the
"kiddies" aren't overloading the Internet is probably the best idea. Any time between 10PM and 10AM usually works. - John |

Sunday 8pm... still unable to retrieve..
How large are the files? could someone email them? BT "ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com... At the 2007 SSA convention I gave a pair of back to back speeches. Soaring Flight Computers and Recorders - This presentation details GPS systems for use for soaring pilots. I talk about how flight recorders are used, how they are wired together, how to upload and download flight logs and other details. I deal with what flight computers bring to the party, how they can help soaring, how they can drive moving map PDA displays, file structure, etc. Avionics Wiring - I have seen many glider avionics installations which have made my hair stand on end (or fall out altogether). This presentation is intended to provide instruction in some best practices on the wiring of avionics. Topics include wires types and gauges, crimp lugs, power, batteries, insulation, mounting, etc. Both presentations are available for downloading at http://geocities.com/jhderosa/aviation. Enjoy, John |
