Inorganic textbooks on the forum library

Boffis - 11-12-2012 at 18:24

I have tried several times to download both Mellor's Treatise of inorganic chemistry... and A textbook of Inorganic Chemistry volumes dealing with the halogens but each time they appear to download in seconds but then you can't open them; the djvu and pdf readers respectively state that the file appear corrupted or "page 3 cannot be decoded"

Has anyone else experienced these problems? If so can it be fixed or can someone point me to an alternative source?

I can download other volumes from both series without problem.

Check the preamble to the library.

I used the free and very excellent program 'Free Download Manager'. Go download and install it and you will be able to grab a copy of any book in the library.

Thanks guys. The Free download Manager is definitely the way to go, it worked a treat.

The preamble to the library has a reference to a command line operated program but its hopeless, pre-IT dark age stuff.
