Please have a look!

I changed the tags - especially the "title"; changed the abstract (before it read like an abstract of just "Great Gatsby", now it's a slightly edited form of the first Wikipedia paragraph for Fitzgerald; and used a later picture of his for the cover.

Looks great thanks. I'm glad we have a picture of Francis on the cover. Good job

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://legamus.eu/blog/?p=1171

Congratulations to this long project, comprising 72 sections and over 35,5 hours!

As always, if you see any mistake, even just a typo somewhere, please tell me.

Could the I in "Short Stories I" be changed to 1 or to One?

I can't seem to download it as a zip archive using my phone which is an iPhone 16 with the latest iOS nor on my MacBook. It fails every time. Would you try it? I can successfully download individual stories ...

Indeed, it looks like this project is too big for the Node downloader script. It usually takes all the files and zips them up, so I don't have to store the files twice (once as MP3, once as ZIP). For a long time, I wanted to rewrite it in a language where I have more control about the process.
For now, I've put a static ZIP file instead, just for this project. The download should work now. Can you confirm?

I will change the Roman I into the number 1 in the next days.

Once you've started to download the zip file, if you leave the page, maybe do something else on your phone while it's downloading, the zipdownload fails. But if you keep the download page alive it does complete successfully.

I'm afraid I can't do more to help that. It's a single static file, delivered directly by the web server. Maybe it's the browser on your phone that stops or pauses the download when you're leaving the app? In case you have other large downloads - this one's 2 GB - is it the same? (I'm only talking about downloads from within the browser, apps are a different story).

Well, I thought I'd just let you know. It's probably generic behaviour for large downloads on a phone. I'm sure I've seen similar behaviour when uploading files to a server I.e. If you leave the page it stops working. Thanks for looking at it. Do you think it might be useful to post a warning to stay on the page until the download completes? (Of course all this is assuming that somebody wants to download all of the stories... )

I changed the Roman I to the number 1. And I put in the warning about downloading on phones. However, if I ever have to regenerate the HTML page from its sources in an automatic way and am not careful, it might vanish.

Thanks Viktor
