As long as it's legal, I'd be keen to get it that way

With Festys permission you can down load it from this link
The file is a zip file of just under 2G torrent of the NSW topo map set

Is this the Victorian cd as well? I'm keen for a torrent - makes sense at this stage; I see zjeep has already done the NSW one (see other thread)

Sorry, I don't do computers very well.

What do I do after I have the torrent downloaded? How do I view the maps?

Hi,

D/L the NSW torrent. About 34% complete at the moment and will be leaving it seeding.

Any luck with the Victoria torrent?

Copying the DVD is illegal too. I'm pretty sure the maps are copyright and cost quite a bit to buy.

The maps are copyright, but do not cost anything - because they're not for sale.
How do I know? I hold the copyright ;)

Hi,

Agree with gofour - can we get the torrent for the Vic maps?

I don't want to jump the queue for the DVD but if I can get it I will be able to upload the files and seed the torrent.

Also - just a question after looking at the NSW maps - it seems that they don't have the same detail as a printed map? ie - in suburban area etc? Has anyone noticed this?

Yes, they're lacking some cadestral information, that data wasn't available to include on the maps.

You can download the vic maps from http://www.craighall.info/vic/
