Your blog was very very informative. I am a third year from a prestigious engineering college. But still till now I didnt know how to download books from gigapedia. Everybody talks about gigapedia in our college, but when I ask a specific person to help me, he shies away. One reason is due to selfishness and the other is due to shallow knowledge. Your language is really great. I request you to write some more enlightening articles to bring vision to blind people like me with the light of knowledge. knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, long live knowledge...........

Do you think you are the only person who know about this web site? And your steps of download? You think people are that dumb that need your advices for that kind of obvious steps? Spread by word of mouth rather than advertise yourself and the web site to get attention. You are not being helpful other than being selfish in the long run.

I have mulled more than once to delete this page but could not. The only solace is that it no more tops in Google now (in Google India it has shifted to 2nd page (11th entry) and in Google Global it is 16 entry). For some reasons I am wary of removing this post now but may do it in future. It is debatable whether corporates are influenced by such reviews (IMO they know it all whether or not they read about it) and they will do what they have to! I am somewhat dumb in publishing this review and how-to I realize but I am not willing to change the status quo as of now. PS: The said regulation in this campus will not be implemented is the update. I do not recall the exact details but most draconian provisions have been done away with.

And you have helped many people find books they want. Cheers, and congrats. But I was just wondering, aren't you causing the site more harm than good? Someone already said that before, but you ignored. First, you are causing overload of their servers by people who simply leech. (How much does a scanner cost in India? How much time does it take to scan and upload a book if one's really willing to share? But there are only a few who share compared to the number of people who choose only to leech). Two, you are exposing the site and its admins to litigation. Yeah, everyone knows the technical stuff, but also remember the cases that are bothering Isohunt (and the Pirates' Bay). And it was litigation costs that shut down eDonkey. I'm sure you don't want that. Three, and this is the most important point. The people running the site are not professionals backed by big corporates. They are private individuals who shoulder the tremendous responsibity of sharing links for all, apart from the terrible job of moderating, explaining and updating... And as I read in their forum, they are NOT willing to advertise their site in a big way, or in posts like this. Nor are they willing people to share suggestions about their site.(Unless people are dumb to the extent I refuse to believe they really are, they get to know how to find the links once they register.) Till now, the site admins believe in the old word of mouth spreading of information among friends. I believe, you can show them a little bit of gratitude by respecting their decision to remain as they want to be. And before you ask, I am a friend of the site, nothing more. (BTW, in the campus that you're in, there's a circular from the Registrar's office that intends to stop the screening of independent films... Some updates on that?) The internet, dear friend, is also inhabited by some very bad people,who are opposed to the free sharing of knowledge. Are you absolutely sure you're not helping them? Hope you understand. Peace, Averroes Dear Vikas,

It feels really great when you’re at the top of Google search. And you have helped many people find books they want. Cheers, and congrats. But I was just wondering, aren’t you causing the site more harm than good? Someone already said that before, but you ignored.

First, you are causing overload of their servers by people who simply leech. (How much does a scanner cost in India? How much time does it take to scan and upload a book if one’s really willing to share? But there are only a few who share compared to the number of people who choose only to leech).

Two, you are exposing the site and its admins to litigation. Yeah, everyone knows the technical stuff, but also remember the cases that are bothering Isohunt (and the Pirates’ Bay). And it was litigation costs that shut down eDonkey. I’m sure you don’t want that.

Three, and this is the most important point. The people running the site are not professionals backed by big corporates. They are private individuals who shoulder the tremendous responsibity of sharing links for all, apart from the terrible job of moderating, explaining and updating… And as I read in their forum, they are NOT willing to advertise their site in a big way, or in posts like this.
