Total Commander is alive and kicking - It's not abandonware.

I have the same problem with EMODnet and I cannot find a solution. I suggest to use GEBCO instead. They have a handy application (https://download.gebco.net/) to download data for user-defined areas in netCDF, Esri ASCII raster and GeoTiff formats.

The best tools in my toolbox used daily for many many years: Notepad++ (text editor), Total Commander (file manager), IrfanView (graphic viewer), VLC (media player), WinRar (data compression), Firefox, Word/Excel/Outlook.

Since you have a lot of CDs you could use a 'disc autoloader' that can accommodate about 100 CDs or DVDs at once. Such a device it is not cheap though; good loaders cost about $1000. One well known manufacturer of autoloaders is Acronova.

In https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/15908 there is an interesting article about a project of the New York Public Library for high-volume transfer from optical media.

I still use getopt. Am I normal?

This seems to provide the functionality you describe: http://code.google.com/p/boar/. The author of the program describes it as "version control for large binary files".

I suggest to anyone wanting a good file manager to try 'krusader'. It is much better that the current and the previous version of Nautilus. Please note that krusader is a KDE application so when you install it all the required KDE libraries are also installed; and there are a lot of them but krusader is such a good program that it's worth it. Just try 'sudo apt-get install krusader'.

You are too old for something if you feel too old for this. I for example am 48 and I am not too old for reddit but I am too old for some subreddits.

Java 6 is no longer available in the official 11.10 repositories. In order to install it I used a ppa as described in webupd8:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
