Try the library at www.avsim.com

There are a number of PBY's there.

flightsim.com

Better selection than avsim, and a faster-loading website that won't crash
your browser to boot.

I don't want to get into a AVSIM vs Flightsim.com argument, but that's not
really a fair statement.

Both websites are worth checking out. I'm sure everyone has their favorite.

Download speeds could be adressed (or often helped) if they started using
bit torrent. Last I heared, neigher uses it (correct me as needed). If
one of your arguments to not use a site is download speed, seriously,
suggest to the webmaster that they begin offering downloads via torrents.
They lose nothing but demand on their bandwidth. The result is often
faster downloads and more bandwidth available for web users.

I have no association with bit torrent but recommend it because it's such
a great technology. Bluntly, for services like these, it's silly for
them not to be using it. A link to bit torrent is:
http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent.
There are also many clients available, especially for win users, so
python isn't even required.

Cheers!

Did you read what I said?

The AVSIM website ITSELF is what takes forever to load (and that's if it
doesn't crash your browser).

LOL. Yes, I did. I'm really not sure why you're asking. I'm fairly
surprised to see you commenting in what appears to be a hostile manner.
Should I have given you a link to address your browser crashing as well?
How about http://www.mozilla.org? Your statement of "takes forever to
load" can mean so many things. You did not state specifically what the
nature of the problem was, so I made an obvious and logical assumption.
One obvious problem is often associated with bandwidth. More bandwidth
generally means faster loads. If bandwitdh is not the problem and you're
still having load time issues, try another brower. Of course, if it's a
bandwidth problem on your end, well, nothing short of a fatter pipe or
extra compression is going to fix that. Hopefully, both sites are already
using compression for their content, at the http stream level.

Regardless, the point of using BT, still stands. It would certainly be
good for the community and provide for more bandwidth for http page
requests to boot.

Cheers!

I'm really not too sure about that.

If it came off as such to you, too bad. It wasn't.

No. I wasn't asking for help. I was just asking why you posted a reply to
my original comment that had absolutely nothing to do with what I stated in
that comment.

Well, given your too and fro with Greg, I am not sure I should even post in
response. You going to wail at me too for trying to help?

Do yourself and us a favor; do a TRACERT and a PING to www.avsim.com. Our
web server is exceedingly fast and our pipe puts out over 70 megs a second
and climbing. We sit on a very proximate node, and have fast service to
Europe and the Far East. I suspect you have a problem between your POP and
our server, and a PING and TRACERT will show you where that exists. Post
your results here and we'll look them over and will spot pretty quickly
where the problem lies.

Oh, and the BS about crashing your server is just that, BS. We test the web
site with all browsers, including the latest releases of Firefox and Opera
and have yet to crash them. You obviously have something wrong with your
configuration, since you are the only person complaining about crashing of
browsers out some 35,000+ readers a day who access the main page, the 13,500
registered users who access the libraries, and over 80,000 registered users
who access the library. With all those successful users, you think their
might be a problem with YOUR system?
