Nothing, I'm the kinda guy if I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to get online for a while I would spend more time contacting companies to get hard copies, backing up reg keys, saving passwords and such for what I have. I would hate to get use to something, lose it and not be able to get it back...;)
yeah I've been organising my license keys from my emails and putting everything into tidy folders 8)

Still got plenty time to get shitloads of free goodness though 8)
I really hope this is just temporary, I for one think you're a good guy so I hope you're back soon...;)

I would download whatever freebies I could lay my hands on. From memory...

sf2midi.com

dorumalaia.com

soundfont.it

the sfz format description page at rgcaudio.com, so I can create my own soundfonts

audacity

whatever samples are available at audioshots

the samples from akaipro

all the KVR favorite free VSTi's and effects

all the VSTi's and effects available at the sites of the KVR favorites' developers

all the patches at KVR and patcharena for all the VSTi's I just downloaded

the samples by realfeel (search KVR for more info)

whatever samples I can found from the "Great KVR Sample Site List" (see the "samples" section)

viena with one "n"

the G-town samples

cygwin (only if you are a Unix fiend like me, who cannot live without a Bourne Shell and the "vi" editor)

CSound, PureData, AudioMulch, SynthEdit (without the 'net, I would have time to learn to use them)

Whatever patches/ config files/ tutorials I could find for the above

some books from the Gutenberg project (not if you don't want to be distracted, though)

the minimoog and dx7 manuals in PDF format, just for the heck of it

in extremis: Google for "free soundfont" and "free samples"

Not free:

Tracktion download-only version

some sample sets from sonicimplants and/or samplecraze

couple boxes of senseo coffee pods from Amazon :)

Well, I hope this helps. Good luck!

you deleted your pron? :o Did it hurt?
I was actually left with a strange and unusual feeling of moral well being 8)
Dude, you went about it all wrong. The only thing you should feel guilty about is hogging all the porn up for yourself . . . You're supposed to get your beautiful girlfriend into downloading porn off the internet WITH you . . . then there's no guilt. Share the naughtiness! Even couples needa a hobby they can pursue together! :P

That was going to be my serious answer. They have an awesome collection of 20th Centry Classical music.

Wouldn't recommend it. She'll install dialers and all sorts.

I would seriously ask Aki Kaurismäki (letting him know you'll be off internet soon, and exaggerating your situation quite a bit, say, "I have to leave for Iceland and don't want to hear BJORK IS GOD a million times in a week even if I like her music, so I NEED sth. I can put into my laptop there, please HELP!!!) about putting some old films of his onto a ftp-server and letting me download some. Aaahhh....those masterpieces...inspiring to all true musicians, by the way...
For example I have seen ARIEL once and would give much to see more of old and unknown films of him :-).



I didn't read through the whole thread, so surely some may have said "fine free sounds" like Splendid piano, mmjalmstroem (or a kind of similar name)-sf2, and Maestro grand (900MB) and so on.
Then I would get hold of any strange samples I could get hold of for putting into Cameleon.

Then I would visit www.lescatole.de for visiting the website of my girlfriend which is not finished yet. But sorry, mate, no pictures of her, maybe the best looking dschöörrrrrmän girl ever...so go for Kaurismäki-films and tell me about it later...

If you're going to be offline and don't already have a web-based account I would worry about continuity first. Set up a web based account (Yahoo, Gmail, etc), forward all your important info from your current account (contacts, stored licenses, etc), and get a portable drive (USB keychain drive, Firewire/USB-based external drive, etc) so you can still hit an Internet cafe and download updates and do license-related stuff. Also be sure to change all registrations to reflect your new email address. With a portable drive you can live without a home intarweb connection and still stay up to date.

that seems like some mighty fine advice...;)

But seriously, I think that LBN has the best advice there - keep up to date with a USB portable drive keyring thing, and get a good web-based email address
