There are 4000 titles, totalling 13 gigabytes.
We host cd3wd free online and we also - very importantly - make it available for free download and onward dissemination via flash ram, CD, DVD, external hard drive etc..
The International Community and International and local NGO's for some strange reason have zero or even negative interest in cd3wd - maybe they can see the writing on the wall - a dynamic and self-sufficient 3rd world which has democratically and peacefully shaken off its pro-Western and its anti-Western charlatan dictator-presidents will have little or no need for NGO's. This lack of interest and hostility is however regrettable, since their involvement could hasten their own departure.

Note that for this and for any and all large downloads we recommend you use the free resource Download Accelerator Plus (DAP), which is downloadable itself from http://www.download.com/Download-Accelerator-Plus/3000-2071_4-10530210.html?tag=lst-0-1 - this enables the resumption of broken, partial or failed downloads....
2006/12 - Major online and offline sections on Livestock, Training, Metalwork, Auto Mechanics, Wind, Solar, other Alternative Energies, etc have been added 2006/12. Downloads Part 3, 4, and 5 are available as offline and as online material; However, downloads Parts 6 through 41 are available as OFFLINE Downloads ONLY. This is because the files are just too big to be effectively hostable without practical problems for you the client and for us the web hosters.
There seems to be a market for say one person in each country globally to burn and snail-mail CD's (on a chargeable basis) for those who dont have the necessary bandwidth - this even applies to USA and other major economies. I suggest that if anyone wants to volunteer we put their email address on this website - everything after that can be done by direct contact - thanks.... Note that we are based in Africa and the mailing costs from there are very high - therefore this is a business that we do not want to get into ourselves...
Each download is a self-extracting .exe zip file, which extracts under Windows and Linux and probably under Mac also (if any problems under Mac then extract under Windows, re-zip to normal zip file, and transfer to Mac for unzipping).
Note for Linux users - use the command:
unzip FISH.EXE
unzip FORESTRY.EXE
etc to unzip those .exe files you download
Sorry it took so long to get things organised. We will announce on this page as soon as the new download system is in place...
We realise that because of the high quality and useability of the material in CD3WD, a lot of web browsing and downloading has been for use in Western countries and economies; we welcome this and are pleased since this demonstrates that CD3WD is not some second-class solution for the world's less developed countries - it is a first-class solution for the world's LDC's.... Anyway, we want people who are using, enjoying and benefiting from CD3WD to also push for its distribution to 3rd world countries - thank you!
Thanks for your patience
Alex Weir for CD3WD
CD3WD is a project to give high quality technical development information to the end user in the 3rd world, and to international and local NGO's and individuals who are interested in Practical Action and an end to hot air and the cynical exploitation of the poor and needy by the rich and verbose.
November 30 2005 we fixed all the link problems on our website and issued a new CD with the same content, but one which will work with Linux, Mac etc.. (the original CD always worked perfectly with Windows).
In the last 16 months we have achieved an excellent 3,000 CD downloads of 660 megabytes each; and an average of 8,000 webpage views per day; both figures are climbing.... The downloads alone are equivalent to the distribution of 2.5 million books and booklets on practical 3rd world development technical information. We are making provision for a rapid expansion of these figures...
We feel that at the moment, the continued dissemination of CD3WD in its existing form with its existing content is our top priority - we want every computer in the 3rd world to have CD3WD installed, including those projected in MIT's OLPC (one laptop per child) Green Machine US$ 100 Laptop Project. Of course if and when content providers come to us with good additional content we will incorporate and reissue, but some content providers have zero interest in the digitalisation of their material - they prefer to maximise their profits and jobs rather than maximise the benefit to mankind.
We run literally on a zero budget - the established players in the Aid and Development Business have no interest in our product. Anyone with ideas, time or money please contact us....
