hey guys, Xpf Roxx!!
but i got something to say,
isnt it gonna be better if you guys Zip up the papers and upload one file, compressed, hm? and all you gotta do is download one file per subject, other wise its like hell to download each paper, and then the mark schemes and syllabuses to boot... :p
please do consider this thankss soo much, for trynna make this site easier to use :) its a life saver already... :p

It's a great idea! :)
But if someone specifically want's a marking scheme, he/she will need to download the entire compressed file.
Let's just not forget that we still have over 30% of viewers using dial-up.
Many viewers are also using mobile phones which can handle pdf's
but handling zip's would be a torture on its small processor.
And the most important of them all, it'll consume more bandwidth and bandwidth is like gold to me specially
when the server's are already maxed out (that's why the site is sometimes slow).
An alternate can be zip's for every year containing QP + MS + ER while keeping the individuals.
But implementing take a lot of time (months infact!!!)

ohhh, well save your Gold :p
lol but yeah cmon every1 one of us is only givin our exams once in a life time, and once you download all of em you wont really need to do it all again, and all
so hey its once-in-a-lifetime effort lol, but see its still worth the time wasted, i think the alternative thing, like put up both , compressed and individual, i guess its gonna be great, please do that, if its not too much of an effort, ;) tho start with igcse major subjects, like maths, economics, accounting ;0 ;) ya know, lol, ahh i sound selfish telling you to waste your time just cause i can save mine ;P hehehe nyway, its up to you now!

well... suggestion is good, but i agree with admin, sumtimes u do need only mark scheme etc. n putting up both causes problems too.
btw, u can try any decent download manager, to actually download all papers etc in 1 click! i did that...

It's currently a busy season, thus, the extra load on your servers. I guess it will be back to normal once this session is over.
Once I'm done with my exams (June 10) I'd like to help you with the above if you want. I've got quite a lot of experience which might come handy in more than one way ;) PM if interested Admin!
