Link to huge Chinese firmware database?
 

Who knows if this is usable or not but see http://forum.s1mp3.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7218
Looks to be a massive searchable database but in Chinese :x Database is www.s1mp3.net, associated forum is http://forum.s1mp3.net
I tries to get into ftp sites but was not successful even though it indicated anonymous login was ok. If anyone manages to download anything useful, could they post a "how to"?

Even when using google to translate the pages it is still more like Chinese Nightmare than Chinese Firmware.

Don't worry guys, I found a cool way to get into the servers and I am downloading them now. It might take some time hehe, maybe weeks, it's coming with 2-5 kb/s but when I finish it we'll find a way to post them here. Man this guys are really cool, the have organized them by display size! There are firmwares from 1.5 inch to 2.8 inch :D. Can't wait to get my hands on these juicy firmwares :D.

alex, you might consider to set up a www.googlepages.com site: it's for free and can store 100 MB/account and you can open as many accounts as you desire... something like http://s1firmwares.googlepages.com might still be available.

good luck with this Alex, if you want some help downloading that is fine but you will need to send instructios to get into the ftp sites

Hi mate! Thank you so much for your help. I have good news for you :). I inspected the downloads and it seems they have firmwares for very rare processors too... The AK series even. So let's make an effort and let's mirror the website. I am making a list with all the files we need to get now and I'll post it here as soon as I finish it (it's made manually).

Thanks again!

@claudio, thanks. If we can get decent speed and download the files, i hope we can make a place somewhere to host them. Googlepages seems cool.

Hi again!

Well I managed to index all the directorries except the last one wich is quite huge. I'll index that one a bit later. Here's some instructions:

Each one of us will take one list at a time and download all the files. Then we'll pack them and I can upload them (I have a LAN T1 connection and it'll work pretty fast). The username and password for the ftp server is:

All you need to download a file is to copy/paste the urls from the lists in a web browser.

Ok here are the lists... I'll take the first one and download it myself, for the rest i need some help. It comes with speed usually < 1 kb here so it's gonna take a while.

That's it. If it doesn't work, we're screwed hehe. Good luck.

Good Work!
Will take a list - pref for 2" screens :-) - which one do you want me to do?
Will i need ftp client software - accessed link with Internet Explorer & site would not accept anonymous login with my email address.
If so, please can you suggest one that works ok?
Cheers

All righty, choose the list you like the most. As you suggested, the best would be to download the 2" firmwares, this way you can try them too. Who knows, maybe you'll find a good one :).

About the rest, here's a very nice little FTP client that I use, it's called FTPWanader. It's freeware and it doesn't even need an install.

Oh, and after you start, please tell me your speed download speed for the files. It's absolutely horrible here. That sever simply doesn't send more than a few bytes/sec.

Re: Link to huge Chinese firmware database?
 

Scatwell my friend, I say we don't download it because it's literally huge. I just found out that it's 500% bigger than i thought. It's virtually impossible to do this manually IMHO.

Oh, an I found some ak1022 compatible firmwares. It seems that AK1022 is virtually the same as ATJ2093H, wich I have. Strange thing. Here's the link:
