Once again we have had to move the index because the server it was hosted on decided to change their policy. The prior server is no longer hosted free of charge, forcing us to relocate. The Release Index link here at the forums will continue to be up to date as server moves are required, so instead of bookmarking the index itself, try bookmarking the forums and linking in to the index from here.

Of course, you could alternately just update your bookmarks.

If the index server is not working, give it a few minutes and try again. We do not have direct control of the server, so we cannot bring it back online if it for any reason goes down. There was a slight glitch during the transfer which blocked our access to the index for several minutes, but it was automatically resolved after a short wait. Please, enjoy!

Digimob is a quarterly-release group, but many of you may have noticed that two quarters have ended without a Release. Part of this is the fault of the current wearer of the hat of group Admin - namely myself, F.D.T. A combination of laziness, busyness, and lack of resources has gotten in the way, and for that I sincerely apologize.

However, another part is a general lack of assistance from the community itself. Live links are prohibited on the forums for two reasons: first, we cannot verify the legality of such links without extensive research, not to mention the applicability. Second, we prefer to share those works which qualify not only with members of our community, but with the world as a whole - which is why we opted to use Bittorrent as our Release mechanism. (There is also the technical limitation of using a free forum which doesn't grant us access to our forum database - if we get kicked off of this server for whatever reason, we may not be able to take your posts with us.)

So, the main reason I am not writing an article about having just released #30 is because we need your help. If there is anything in your collection which is not in ours (the Release Index was created to help check just that), please submit it for inclusion in our next Release. All you have to do is ZIP it up, upload it to a free file hosting site (there is a list here), then email the link to occult [ dot ] digital [ dot ] mobilization [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com. Our Content Team will download the files, check them over, and then include them in the next Release. If your files don't make it, wait to see if they show in the next Release before asking us what gives. We'll try to let you know if we can't include something because of legal limitations (this tends to be very rare).

If the time has not come to retire this project and give way to others, such as theoccult.bz (which has a high level of interest among members of this site), we will continue to do our best to provide what service we can. However, without your help, we will never be able to pull it off.

Go well, and may the Winds guide you in your Journey.

I have received requests for help from multiple people on how to use the Release Index. Some don't even know how to get to it. Since I created the current incarnation, I feel a sense of responsibility for making sure people can use it, so I wrote this simple HowTo in the course of writing one such reply. It will likely change over time as the Index itself evolves.

Searching the Release Index

To search for files, go to the Release Index - there's a link to it at the top of the page, just below the banner. You don't even have to have an account for the forums to use it. You do need JavaScript enabled, though! The main Release Index page shows the full Index. You can go through it one page (there are 50 results per page) at a time, but as of this writing, there are 247 pages to go through.

Because there is so much to choose from, there is a search feature built into the Index. At the top of the page is a box that says Search The Index. If the search controls aren't already visible (which they are by default if you've made a search already, have changed the sort order, or have looked at the other pages), simply click Search The Index and the controls will pop out. You can click Search The Index again to hide the search controls if you like.

In the search controls are several options. You can search through file names by entering keywords or parts of words in the File Name box. If you know about how big the file is, you can have the results only show files Larger Than or Smaller Than any size you choose, or Between any two sizes for even fewer results. You can also limit the results to a certain File Type - you can show only Documents if you're searching for PDFs. If you know which release a file is in, just not where, you can limit your search to just a specific release using the In Digest(s) list - hold Ctrl while clicking to select more than one. Once all of your parameters have been set, click Search, and the Index will filter out anything which doesn't fit.

To download a file once you've found it, you'll need to download a copy of the Torrent file for the Release it came in - we don't have enough space on a free hosting server to offer the files individually, and that's not how we do business anyway. Luckily, most BitTorrent clients, such as uTorrent or Vuze, let you select only the files you wish to download from a given Torrent. Even if your client doesn't, though, the other files are simple enough to delete until you are …
