Where's the MakeCD site?

[alberonn]

I was trying to get to the MakeCD site (http://makecd.core.de) and iBrowse came up with "Network Error: Connection Refused". Google had the page in it's cache at:

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:w11HKfNZULQJ:makecd.core.de/+MakeCD+Amiga&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&strip=1

(This is the version without the pics, as all of the links to them are broken.)

I am planning on buying ths as soon as I can get the cash, but I wanted to make sure I had the newest version. I have v3.2c, and I was wanting to get the 10th Public Beta of 3.2d as well as the makecdromfs.module 45.10 so I can burn some disks for my Windoze-using friends.

I hope that the site is only down for a short time and not gone for good. But I also really need these two files:

MakeCD32d_public_beta_10.lha
makecdromfs_45_10.lha

Like I said, I'm not sure what version is in the box I plan on getting from Compuquik, so I wanted to get the current stuff. And I can work with the program with it's shareware limitations until I can afford to buy the full package.

Well, I got a private E-Mail from one of the guys who told me the site was back up. That was a big relief for me. Now I have the needed files. I plan on buying this sucker when I have the cash. I may have downloaded the newest version, but I need the key in the package to get rid of the small limitations the unregistered version has.

I was worried that these guys may have disappeared. That would of really sucked.

As to using a PeeCee to burn CD's, well I don't have one! In fact, I have some friends who want me to hunt for some files for thier PeeCee since they don't have Internet right now. Being able to burn a Joilet CD for them is a nice ability to have.

It also nice to have the software on hand to do periodic backups of my Amiga partitions as well. Not too helpful to try to do this with the Windoze system, even though I have an X-Surf II with the Samba drivers.

Geeze, I ask if anyone knows what happened to the MakeCD site and I create a Windoze flame war? Not my idea of what would be in here, but hey, that's the joys of message boards. You'll never know how people will respond.

I am not really interested in Windows at all. Whenever I get an Intel box, I'm more interested in Mandrake Linux. I have seem some games that a friend has found that are also on the Windoze machine, but run and look really nice on his system. Mind you he has a fairly beefy setup.

And Mandrake does more then games I know, it was pretty easy, (as Linux goes) to install, it seems to run pretty fast and has some good tools that come with it that help in managing the system. I'd have a bit of a learning curve, but I like playing with and learning how to do stuff on my systems.

Would I dump My A4000 after getting that box? Well, in a word... No. I can easily network my system via the built-in router on my DSL modem. An Actiontec 1524 that Qwest sent me. (I was happy that I didn't have to buy a router when I went Broadband. Especially since I have a PS2 and a Gamecube with online games for both.)

If some of you guys think the Amiga is obsolete and trash, why the hell are you on Amiga message boards? You ain't gonna win any converts here. And flaming us is just going to convince us more that Windows users are a bunch of rabid sheep.

Yeah, he PM'ed me the Keyfile, but I'll be buying the package as soon as I can anyway.

Our official stance is the ACUG doesn't support Piracy, which in our mind is copying any software that you can legally get otherwise.

MakeCD is still supported and buyable, therefore I'm paying for it, while some older stuff that you cannot register or find ANY other way to get is a different matter.

If we don't support the stuff it's gonna disappear and I don't like that idea myself.
