downloading the torrent file
Hello,
first of all thank you for the effort in creating a Buddhist Studies DVD. That's great!!
Downloading the torrent file doesn't seem to work. Is there a possibility to download directly the whole file, without having to use torrent? Would be helpful!
thanks for respond!

about how to download
Hi!
Your DVD looks great. But I have a question for you about how to download. The question is if I click the torrent file can I get all the dictionaries and other items in the dvd you displayed including Ubuntu 9.04? Or Is it possible to download only dictionaries? Please let me know.
Thank you.
From a far away from you.
You can download the three
You can download the three dictionaries for Buddhist studies from this site:
Pali-English English-Pali Dictionary
Buddhist Dictionary by Nyanaponika
CKJ Buddhism Dictionary
http://flammschild.blog.uni-heidelberg.de/2009/03/12/more-stardict-dictionaries/
WWBD (What Would Buddha Do?)
Somehow it doesn't seem in the spirit of Buddhism or Linux to limit who has access to a distro. Linux contains OpenSource efforts and was created as something to share, not limit access to :(
It could so easily be put up to SourceForge for all to benefit from and even in the screen shots you see the distro is USING SourceForge material

Good comment
I am testing this DVD at this stage, and will put it on Torrent share later.
Wow, great!!
I just typed in the ubuntu and Buddhist studies as a joke and found out there is one!! I am really surprised.
I am doing Buddhist studies focusing a lot on Japanese Buddhism and esoteric Buddhism, so I was wondering if you were planning to add related features. Good are Muller's DDB Digital Dictionary of Buddhism, for which there is also a firefox plugin, I think. Another is the SAT tripitaka database. I have tons of good links. Send me an email if you want
Cheers,
