Baen Books is a leader in ebook publishing. They have been including promotional CDs with selected hard-cover novels. These CDs contain previous books in the series, artwork, music and other goodies.
These CDs are licensed for free, non-commercial reproduction. Copies may be given away but not sold.
Note: The ZIP files contain the ISO image that I ripped from the CDROMs.
Do not try to help BitTorrent by using your ZIP file downloaded from Baen. It will not match and will corrupt your Baen ZIP. These ZIP files are not bit-for-bit identical to what you download from Baen, because of differences caused by CDROM writing / ripping software and ZIP compression software. What's inside the ISO images should be the same as Baen's.
Be patient while downloading. This will take a while. Once more seeds appear, it will go faster. This is only a 144 Kb/s IDSL, after all.
Contact Zan Lynx with problems.
If you are trying to help seed these torrents with your own ISO images, match these MD5 sums first.
The ISO images were created under Linux. They were copied to disk using:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso bs=2k
They were then compressed into ZIP using:
zip image.zip image.iso
If your ISO image does not match, you can still try using it. BitTorrent may be able to fix it without too much downloading. After getting an ISO image with a matching MD5 sum, try creating the ZIP archive. Your ZIP archive will not be exactly the same as mine because of embedded date information. But, if your ZIP file is the same size as mine and it contains an ISO image that matched mine, BitTorrent will be able to fix the parts that are different.
