As I've said before I'm always seeding.

Seed looking solid early this morning so far. 3-4Mbps. I haven't read through all 14 pages of above so far, but my next step is to mount and get the server running. THanks! And I'll keep this seeding in Transmission as that is what I'm using most days for old school music and shows I can't find anywhere else 😉

This comment is NOT taking copyright laws into consideration, that said, has anyone considered downloading to flash drives and selling them here? There would probably be a market for the 200 FSM.

Mount the ISO locally. The most recent instructions for setting up a local webserver on your desktop/laptop are here:

That’s a surefire way to have someone with a badge eventually show up at your door with a warrant. Also if in doing so you’re making $ on it, frankly I think it’s kind of a d*ck move both to the original creator (Toyota or snapon… not sure exactly) as well as the dude who put a few hundred hours of his own time voluntarily compiling it and debugging issues and making it accessible to the community.

I can understand wanting it to be easily available to everyone even to less technical users, but if that’s the goal anyone in the community could certainly make their ISO download available to the public. The setup instructions are for a local desktop but only because most people don’t want to run a public webserver. I run my own copy like this, but access is gated to people I know. It was set up as a torrent so future users wouldn’t have to rely on any one person for gated access, like the old moranbahweather.com site which has disappeared (presumably because of a sternly worded letter to the host)

To your point though, you can just burn the ISO to a USB drive. From there you can boot off the USB drive and it runs a standalone local webserver on Linux. Or you can insert the USB drive and run a local webserver, though you still have to go through the effort to set that up locally. I used to offer to burn USB drives for free for people who weren’t tech savvy, but it’s a hassle and to the first paragraph I didn’t really want to be exchanging money even if it technically was just to cover the cost of the drives.

I totally understand. I was thinking that the FSM had entered the public domain.

Up and running!!! Absolutely genius solution my friend. Download was only about 2.5hrs. The Abyss setup was a little frustrating as it wouldn't see that I mounted it from an internal SD Card storage slot. So I transferred iso to local drive and mounted from there. Quick reboot and all was well. Thanks again.

I also got your OBD Fusion dashboard working on my new model iPad Mini. Are you still working on those?

I have an OBD Fusion dashboard I use on my iPhone. I wish I had a fully separate screen for it but it’s always been a low priority.

I was working on an FSM that would run off an android tablet and did get the working but it requires jailbreaking and not really sustainable. Someone with lots of time on their hands should take it over 😉
 
Not sure about that “seed rank” however. 😳😬🤔🤣
Heh I have no idea how that works or if it’s right. I doubt there are 600 other people seeding.
 
@linuxgod - thanks for getting this set up. I was able to slowly download about half of the torrent yesterday. For some reason it's not connecting to any peers today. Just confirming people have this up and available.

I'm seeding unless the cat decides to nap in his favorite place and crashes it out on the keyboard. I'll check it tonight.
 
I’m always seeding. I don’t really understand why but sometimes there are torrent access issues. Not sure if that’s your ISP or router blocking certain ports, something to do with frequency of announcements, etc. I should probably go look at the torrent protocol spec to see why one of these days
