I found how to download the whole CIP publication even though the page is under construction.
When you are done, you will have the whole thing in English, French and German with a frontpage
in PDF.

Here is how I did it. On this computer, my account is named Dad.

Here goes. We want the Comprehensive Edition of Adopted C.I.P. Decisions, Texts and Tables
The site is French so you want - Tableaux des Dimensions de Cartouches et de Chambres (TDCC).
http://www.cip-bp.org/index.php?id=tdcc-telechargement.
The page is under construction, so it doesn't work.

To download, go to http://www.cip-bp.org/uploads/tdcc.zip
This 130 Mb zip file has the whole thing in English, French and German with a frontpage in PDF.
When you try to get the TDCC zip file, the site keeps disconnecting so you need to restart the
download where you left off. To do this use wget.exe.

Go to this URL:

http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/

Download wget.exe (401408 bytes) : win32 binary with OpenSSL support.

MD5: bd126a7b59d5d1f97ba89a3e71425731
SHA1: 457b1cd985ed07baffd8c66ff40e9c1b6da93753

Open a DOS command line and go to the directory you stored wget.exe in.
I put mine in the "My Documents" directory.

Then, at the command prompt type:
wget -t 100 http://www.cip-bp.org/uploads/tdcc.zip

Now you are connected to the server and wget will have the download restart up to 100 times. My
download had to reconnect 3 times.

Here is an example of what you see in the command window.
