HOW TO DOWNLOAD ENTIRE BOOKS FROM http://www.dli.ernet.in/

The reason that I am placing this thread here is that we do not want them to change their security.

Step 1.

Go to http://www.dli.ernet.in/ or http://www.new1.dli.ernet.in/ and find the book you want to download.

Example:

Code Select Expand

http://www.dli.ernet.in/cgi-bin/metainfo.cgi?&title1=Hundert%20Autoren%20Gegen%20Einstein&author1=Israrel,%20Hans&subject1=&year=1931%20&language1=others&pages=105&barcode=1040010080955&author2=&identifier1=&publisher1=R.%20Voigtlander%20Verlag,Leipzig&contributor1=&vendor1=NONE&scanningcentre1=iisc,%20bangalore&scannerno1=1&digitalrepublisher1=svinfo&digitalpublicationdate1=2005-02-07&numberedpages1=&unnumberedpages1=&rights1=OUT_OF_COPYRIGHT&copyrightowner1=&copyrightexpirydate1=&format1=Tagged%20Image%20File%20Format%20&url=/data_copy/upload/0080/960
Step 2.

Click on BookReader-1 Click here and copy the URL of the .tif file it gives.

Example:

Code Select Expand

http://www.new.dli.ernet.in/data_copy/upload/0080/960/PTIFF/00000001.tif
Step 3.

Download Firefox web-browser. http://www.mozilla.com

Step 4.

Install the Add-on DownLoadThemAll. http://www.downthemall.net/

Step 5.

Activate DLTA and click Add URL and paste the earlier saved URL and modified to download all pages.

Example:

Code Select Expand

http://www.new.dli.ernet.in/data_copy/upload/0080/960/PTIFF/00000[001:105].tif
Step 6.

Read the .tif files as separate pages of the book.

Awesome find, Joe! Thanks for sharing it.

This Yiddish Library is worth a look:

The National Yiddish Book Center is proud to offer online access, free of charge, to the full texts of nearly 11,000 out-of-print Yiddish titles. The books were scanned under the auspices of our Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library, and are made available online through the Internet Archive.

None have been OCR'd, and many have never been translated into English or any other language.

Yiddish translation was only recently added to the Google Translator, and Yiddish OCR is in the latest version of ABBYY FineReader. I tried OCR'ing and translating a passage from one of Menachem Begin's books, recounting the bombing of the King David Hotel. About half was intelligible, and half gibberish. That may have been poor OCR and/or translation - or perhaps this "Yidderish" is naturally unintelligible nonsense. :lol:
