Please donate to help us serve the cause (At Will)
Amount as little as Rs 100 will help us serving the charity work, so please dn't hesitate. below are the bank details
In modern time, economic conditions determine the longevity of our actions. No amount o donation/charity can support a Good Activity for Long, the only option is to change the trade preferences so that the Good gets benefited over Bad. For example, If we want to survive the Cow then we need to invest in cow products, consume them, we need to make people aware of the economic benefits of the Cow, we need to buy Desi cow milk, desi ghee, panchgavya soap, GauArk, etc ! Once we start trading on cow based products then economic conditions will improve automatically and farmer will more likely choose Indigenous cow rather than Holstein, Jersey, etc. Same is true for all other areas as well (Alopathy vs Ayurveda, etc)
चाणक्य ने कहा था - "बुधिमान मनुष्य को ज्ञान, धन और सेवा से धर्म की रक्षा करनी चाहिए !" उपनिषद भी कहते हैं - "धर्मो रक्षति रक्षित:" यानी जो धर्म की रक्षा करता है, धर्म उसकी रक्षा करता है। कहा जाता है की धर्म और पाप देखा देखी बढ़ता है I
धारण करे सो धर्मंः - धर्म को मन, वचन और कर्म से धारण करने से ही वो उपयोगी होता है I

Indigenous cows are speedily being replaced by foreign cows (Holstein, Jersey, etc). Consumer should become aware of the benefits of Indian breed cows and then start consuming cow products (Deshi Ghee, Deshi cow's milk, cow urine for illness, cow based soap etc), its better than giving donation to cow sheds. Trade with them for them to survive them !!

Now you can create a local catalog of the books hosted on DLI, just goto download Tab and then choose Index Language and provide the language that you want to index. It will take some time to download the contents from the DLI server.
Video Demonstration for Indexing new language books in dli-downloader
Step 1. Start DLI downloader and goto "Downloads" Tab, then right click, select "Index Language" and then choose the name of language that you are interested in (Sanskri, Gujrati, etc)
Step 2. Make sure internet connection is available, and let the indexing task complete. Once indexing is complete then you can search the books locally.
If you have downloaded dli_index.zip file from the download section on google code, then you can run the book search locally for Hindi, English and Sanskrit Books. You need to extract the zip file and copy the dli_index folder to the same directory where dli-downloader jar is placed. Searching is easier and faster with local index file, for example
DLI Downloader Search Panel
If you want to search for books on Ayurveda, then type Ayurveda in the search panel and the relevant results will appear. If you type more than one word then results will appear relevant to both the words (ORing).
If you do not know the exact spelling of the book you are looking for then type the word and append ~ at the end, this will do fuzzy search. For example you can search for ayrved~ and the results will contain Ayurveda Books as well.
If you do not want to include certain books in your search results, then put a minus sign in front of the word you want to omit. For example you want to list all the Ayurveda Books except one in Sanskrit, then type ayurveda -Sanskrit in the search panel.
If you want your multiple words to appear strictly in the results then type +sign before each word. for example +ayurveda +hindi will only show results which contain Ayurveda as well as Hindi in their metadata.
If you want to list custom maximum number of results in the results then you can configure it in the Settings section by setting appropriate vale for maxSearchResults
If you have the barcode of the book then you can search by barcode as well.
If you got the desired book and now want to search for similar books then select the desired book and right click and then choose Find Similar, this will search all the similar books in DLI catalogue.
If you want to search all the books with which has 10 pages then search for pages:10
Option to search books locally based on the criteria and download them. Catalogue has been created locally which stores metadata for books in Hindi, Sanskrit (All Books) & 2 Lac books in English (60% of total). So you can search for a book in a matter of seconds and download it without providing the barcode in download window. You need to download and extract the index file (dli_index) to the same folder where dli-downloader jar is kept, otherwise local search will not work.
DLI Settings has been moved to the Main Tool Window, making it easier to change the settings.
If you like a book, you can find similar books with a single click. Thus easing the search pain.
If you want to give it a try then download the 4.x version from this location
This new release uses Lucene to index the metadata of the DLI catalogue and stores the catalogue index locally in order to achieve the faster search. It uses 22 MB of extra disk space for storing 1.25 Lac book catalogue. The size of the executable has also grown to 6 MB.
1.) I am not able to start the Application, how do I troubleshoot ?
Please note that this application works almost on all platforms, the only dependency is the Java 7. run the following command to make sure that proper version of Java is installed on your system.
java -version
java version “1.7.0_X”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode) If it doesn’t, then something is wrong with the installation. make sure previous versions of Java are un-installed properly.
2.) I am facing a problem while downloading a particular barcode, it fails every time I try to download. I am not able to understand the logs, what should I do ?
Whenever a failure occurs, a log file is created in download directory with name <barcode>.log
Please send that log file to me at cancerian0684@gmail.com
I will analyze the failure cause and get back to you.
3.) I have lots of DLI books with me spread over multiple directories, how can i make sure that i am not downloading the same file again, causing duplicates ?
All download directories can be configured in DLI Settings. Open DLI settings and set the following property downloadDirectories to reflect all the DLI download directories separating them with semicolon. For example -
e:\dli;D:\workspace\DLIDownloader\DLI
Please note that each DLI pdf should have barcode present in its name. Now DLI downloader will scan all the PDF’s at the startup time and will not allow you to download them again by giving you the warning that PDF for this barcode already exists.
4.) I do not want to have PDF metadata Page in my downloaded PDF’s. How can I remove that page ?
This can be configured in DLI Settings.
Set createBarcodePage = false will suppress the creation of first metadata page.
5.) I want to Configure Proxy Settings to run this tool under corporate firewall, How can I do that ?
HTTP proxy support is not yet added to this tool, but you can give a try passing this command line arguments and see if it works for you. java -client -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.0.0.100 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8800 -jar DLIDownloader-4.8-jar-with-dependencies
6.) I have a text file which contains ten's of barcodes each separated by a line, Can I use that file to download all those barcodes instead entering each of them into tool manually ?
Tool can accept the <file path> as the input in such case. Just paste the path for that text file into input of Tool and it will create downloads for you.
7.) Why does DLI Downloader takes some time when I try to shut it down ?
DLI Downloader is a multi-threaded application where multiple files are downloaded in background for a given barcode. When a download is in progress then we try to complete the currently downloading TIFF before exit in order to have a graceful shutdown leaving no intermittent partial download. That's why it takes some time, and you will see no partially downloaded file onto your disk.
Digital Library Of India [http://www.dli.ernet.in/] hosts millions of copyright freed scanned books in English and Indian Languages for public access. Unfortunately this website does not provide any mechanism to download the entire e-book in any format. DLI-downloader provides a smooth and hassle free interface to all DLI servers which allows you to search and downloads the eBooks right from the Tool.
