KoreanBasicVol1Audio_Part3(76.18M)  http://www.mediafire.com/file/tjyenrzzlwx/KoreanBasicVol1Audio_Part3.zip

I've included an additional  text file(s) with with each of the above explaining why they are in the US public domain. As always, these files are also in the public domain in countries that implement the "Rule of the Shorter Term" for US works in their respected copyright laws (i.e. EU Countries, India, Japan, Turkey, etc).

Special Note: While in the public domain in the US and several other countries, the files are copyrighted in countries that do not implement the rule (i.e. Canada, Mainland China, Mexico, etc) and residents of those countries need to verify that they can legally download the files. The Gutenberg people believe it is legal to download, but not to make further copies or changes.

The audio files for Metro French, Korean Vol 1, Thai Vol 2, Vietnamese Vol 2, and Yoruba texts as well as most of the text files were sent to gdfellows several months ago, so eventually they should show up on the official download portion of the site.

Lots of great stuff DemiPuppet. Thanks for making it available.

Any chance that you will be uploading the Italian Headstart?

Thanks DemiPuppet!  Any chance you could maybe make torrents out of the larger files you couldn't upload so people can download them from PirateBay or Mininova?

Anyone else having problems downloading Sub-Saharan French, Spanish Vol. 4 or Yoruba Intermediate?  I keep getting a server error for those three.

Many thanks once again, DemiPuppet, for all your work!

Jennie, I was just able to download vol 4 of the Spanish text.  I tried earlier today, and couldn't get anything to download correctly, so it may have been some sort of problem with the ifile.it site.  But I was just able to download several items with no problems, so if I were you, I'd keep trying.

I double checked the download addresses. They appear to be correct.

Unfortunately, torrents have taken on a bad reputation as a tool for copyright infringement.  I'm going to stay away from them.  Hopefully gdfellows will upload the files to the site.

Note: The files above were all run through the Acrobat OCR tool so you should be able to cut and paste. Only the first few pages of the Sinhala and Arabic books were OCR'd. The OCR accuracy will certainly be less than 100%.

Thanks for completing the Swahili audio ... I think that will make many of us happy (just to see some activity at this site makes me happy!)

Now, what about the remaining audio from the Hungarian reader?

Added Metropolitan French audio above.

The audio is from the original US government recordings.  As always, I've attached a file explaining why the audio is in the public domain. In short - the audio is in the US public domain because it was published after 1978 and before 1 Mar 1989 without a copyright notice or subsequent filing within 5 years.  It was also created by a US federal employee in the course of their normal work and is thus exempt under US copyright laws (17 U.S.C. § 105).

Note: The first file share service limits me to 250M. Zshare is 100M. We''ll see how this all works out. Hopefully gdfellows will add these to this site's home page.
