 Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:38 pm Post subject: Downloading puzzles in advance |
 |
|
| I see that the (contraversial?) technique for downloading puzzles in advance has been blocked. I'd like to say that I find this a bit ridiculous. I can't be the only person who uses this site who spends an amount of time each week out of easy reach of a wi fi or similar connection. The "reset your computer clock" technique saved me a 30 mile round trip into the local town, €2.40 in parking and €3.15 on coffee, just to download a few Sudoku. It allowed me to download the week's VH and H puzzles, put them on the laptop and solve them at my leisure. I can't really see why it's been blocked, as I say it just seems silly. |

Oh well. Those who provide the site can make the rules. It is a great site, regradless whether they do things the way I want.
Have you downloaded all the past years puzzles? Instead of downloading the puzzles a week ahead, how about waiting and downloading them for the past 2 weeks at a time? In the meantime, get all the 2006 puzzles or such... |
