Nate very nice! thanks a bunch. +10 rep even though we don't have rep here. What a timesaver.
 
Hi Nate

can't find a 1991 ls400 in there. 1990 is probably good enough but if you get time the 1991 would be great!
 
waiting for post

Nate,

I posted a couple of weeks ago for the 1994 T100 all available manuals and I don't see a reply or PM. I could really use those manuals to get this back on the road. Sorry to keep bugging you about it, you are doing a great service for all of us. You can email directly at pwc@cox.net.

Paul
 
 
Just have to say thanks for a super thread. Mine is all nice and neat on the laptop.


THANKS!

Semlin,
You'll be glad to know that I'm typing this from a Mac which I just used to download a package. There are only a few quick modifications that you need to make....

First off, you need to delete wget.exe from the zip package and replace it with this version for Macs:
http://www.statusq.org/images/wget.zip

Then, you need to rename begin_download.bat to begin_download.sh and open it in text edit. Then, goto edit->find and replace all instances of "wget" with "./wget" and replace all instances of "cookies.txt" with "./cookies.txt"

Get the cookies using the firefox method, put it into cookies.txt (use textedit) SAVE IT and close stuff up. Open up a terminal, cd to your downloader directory, and type "./begin_download" and hit enter The magic should then happen ;)

I'm not a mac user and don't know their ins-and-outs but I think those directions make sense. It is still unix-like at its core ;)

nate, i finally got through all your steps. only problem is when I get into the terminal and change to a downloader directory and then type the "./begin_download" command in terminal it says "no such file or directory". If I drag and drop that file into the terminal and hit enter it tries to run it but then gets a "no such file or directory" code at whatever line it first encounters "./wget"

if i just click on the mac wget the program seems to work fine (if it had an url).
if i run a batch file without editing the "wget" to "./wget" the terminal still can't find it.

To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, you keep getting me to say "./" but i do not think it means what you think it means in apple speak. :D any idea what i am missing?
 
this is my first post on ih8mud and I have to say this is the greatest resource. I'm suprised more toyota people from other forums (like myself) haven't wandered over to take advantage, I want to buy another toyota just to get the manuals!

2000 4Runner, no hurry.

TIA, Steve.
 
I have been reading all about this - I was excited to be able to download the FSM but the toyota site will only allow people with US address sign up!

I am from Australia :(

:crybaby:

Did you set execute permissions?

Simon,
In lawyerspeak.... Wget.exe and the begin_download script must have "execute" attribute in Unix derivatives. You can use the CHMOD command to change file attributes/permissions. The error that you are getting implies that those files do not have the "Execute" attribute.
-B-
 
I actually took the time to read your reply this time :flipoff2:

Are you copy->pasting wget to the Downloader folder? (the same one with begin_download.sh)
 
Hi Nate, could you run one for 92 Lexus SC400 and 92 MR2? Thanks a bunch, I was near tears while I was downloading for my 96 TLC.
 
Nate, I got a notice from Toyota that they will be updating their TIS site next week - new menus, searches, etc. Is that going to adversely affect the operation of all these wonderful scripts you have created?
 
Yes probably. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it... unfortunately being up at work in NC doesn't afford me alot of time for projects like this, so it may have to wait until mid-August when I get back.
 
Although, judging by the feature sets, it almost sounds like Toyota saw the popularity of this project based on such a relatively 'low impact' vehicle and thought "hey, alot of people find this useful, lets do it ourselves"

We have a re-designed, All New Technical Information System Website (TIS) that is just around the corner! This new site provides some exciting new features, a few of which include:
* A new search engine that looks across multiple document types simultaneously and supports alternative spellings and synonyms
* An interactive Electrical Wiring Diagram viewer
* A new Service Information Viewer which displays links to all files for an entire publication
* Details of your TIS subscription visible right on your very own personal homepage
* The ability to save links to frequently used or favorite documents
* Configure several system settings to match your personal preferences
