Re: Bluprint/Craftsy death - Reassuring Update
|
Last night, after I posted, Allavsoft crashed 3 times when I was downloading the last class. And it didn't restart downloading when I reopened it. So I was glad I did it in small batches. I ended up downloading 3-4 classes?per batch.
I also learned a lot about Craftsy in the process. The class numbers go from 3 to 4 to 5 digits. A lot of my classes?are 3 and low 4 digit numbers and they?are some of the better - more in-depth and longer - classes I own. The couple?that had 5 digit numbers?were useful but shorter in length. But that is because, after that one horrible class that had 6 episodes of 15 mins each, I looked long and hard at episode?length and content before buying.
There?are a lot of temporary?files that are created?while?downloading and you can get rid of them after each class downloads.?
I just emailed Allavsoft late last night and they've already sent me the links I need to begin.? I've got a 3 terabyte external HD, so with your information about downloading yours, Shannon, I think I've got plenty of storage for 240 classes.
I spent most of yesterday downloading the Pdf Course materials to the external drive.? I've only done 80 classes thus far, but I'm making progress.? The process of organizing the course materials has given me time to set up a file system for organizing the videos once they're completed.
I'm learning a ton with this major effort.
The issue of the missing archived classes is a real concern, Jaya.? I may need to take a look to see if some of my classes have also disappeared.? They're not my faves anyway, but still, we need to nail that down at some point.
Thanks to all for sharing your experience.
Mary.
