I am behind a firewall that blocks "Peer-to-Peer File Sharing". I need to download all levels of the Blue Marble cache pack. Can someone please post direct links (the HTTP ones on www.worldwinddata.com) to the zip files for me? (I think it's levels 0-3, maybe a 4th)
It would be greatly appreciated.

Even better. Thanks.
I'm assuming you've already been downloading a bunch, but we have the cache packs so we _don't_ put a strain on the servers. I don't know why you can't get to worldwinddata.com, there are http links there too. But here's blue marble levels 0-4:

Thanks for the input, but I think you might not understand the needs of WWJ users as well as you think. First of all you are making the assumption that downloading cache packs are less of a strain? This is actually not true. The download routines only make 1 connection at a time and have a delay to give the servers plenty of time to free connections. Much less intense than actually using WW and give the user the option of only downloading certain levels and areas. The servers that WWJ uses serve up dds tiles not jpg. Also you have made the assumption that everyone is running Windows by pointing to links containing exe files. This is not the case with many of us using WWJ. WWJ != WWdotnet

Bit torrents are detected and blocked I would assume.
But here's blue marble levels 0-4:
Thanks. I will download and save.

Do those .exe files contain the .dds files for WWJ? and if so are there packs for political boundaries? (seem to have a problem getting those to download with the fetch scripts, heh)
