Trying the torrent - have been subscribed for 2 days - getting "tracker down". Help if you can ?

to any of you following this thread who dont know what a torrent is or how to get it. Install a copy of SHAREAZA (http://www.shareaza.com), unlike some other torrent clients this doesnot install spyware, ads or trojans.Info and help is availbale here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareaza, also the torrent posted by Tom, after a period of waiting finally downloaded (took about 4 hours to complete on a cable connection). I recommend, subscribing and leaving it for 24 hrs. The file will eventually be downloaded.The beauty of torrents, the more who download, the more sources that become available, which will significantly reduce download times.

I bit the bullet and paid the fee - downloaded all the documents that apply to my '02.

I've got something like 1400 pdfs and the HTML that describes the order the filenames go in, but my free time to tackle assembly suddenly dried up.

If anyone's willing to help assemble the PDFs, please PM me. I can use assistance filtering the relevant text out of the HTML and assembling the PDFs in order once that's done. I think the filtering can be done with Excel, among other things.

The HTML is from the drop down menus in the download frame, for those of you who've seen it, but needs filtering to remove excess items - this is a snippet from the relevant portion of the HTML:

<option style="color:#302B75; background-color:#E7E7E7" value="/cgi-bin/ns-data-display_pl/,0/r1/ileaf/toytsb/tsbrules/tsbrule1/2002teet.pl"> T.S.B.::PG014-01: Attachment: 2002 PDS Check Sheet
<option style="color:#000000; background-color:#DBD0D0" value="/cgi-bin/ns-data-display_pl/,0/r1/ileaf/toytsb/tsbrules/tsbrule1/ac00101r.pl"> T.S.B.::AC001-01: 01-02 Sequoia: A/C Compressor Durability Improvenent (OBSOLETE)

Ideally, ending up with something like:

T.S.B.::PG014-01: Attachment: 2002 PDS Check Sheet (tab) 2002teet.pdf

T.S.B.::AC001-01: 01-02 Sequoia: A/C Compressor Durability Improvenent (OBSOLETE) (tab) ac00101r.pdf

would be ideal. From there, I >might< have a tool that can autoassemble the PDFs, but if not, having help assembling/making a TOC/etc would be wonderful.

I used regular expressions and textpad to clean up the table of contents -- although I wasn't able to get the right pdf name in there through any automated means. I search for everything between the first < and the last > in a single line and replace it with "" (or something along those lines).

Also, to create the bookmarks, I:
1. merged all PDFs into a single PDF for each section or subsection.
2. Created the bookmarks in the PDF using the "New Bookmarks from Structure . . ." tool, and chose "Part" in the dialog.
3. This results in a bookmark for each merged pdf along with sub-bookmarks for each title within that PDF (new bookmarks are created for style occurances I think).
4. Delete all sub-bookmarks, leaving only the bookmarks that correspond with the TOC that was downloaded.
5. Open the PDF with Textpad, scroll down to the bookmarks created in step 3. They look something like: "196 0 obj<</Parent 171 0 R/Next 198 0 R/Prev 194 0 R/Title(MA-5: Engine: Inspection)/A 195 0 R>>
endobj". This shows one that I already performed step 6 on, I can't remember quite what it had before for the title.
6. Copy and paste the bookmarks from the TOC into the PDF file. I could only figure out how to do this one at a time and is the most time-consuming piece of work. Be careful, sometimes I found that the bookmarks in the PDF were in reverse order. If someone is a Perl or Python expert, maybe they could come up with something quicker.
