899+ MS Doc Books & Writings for conversion to Docx and PBB - Torrent
Christian Classic Library Torrent
Public Domain Works - aprox. 900 DOC files.
Free Download using Torrent client such as Bitlord or uTorrent http://www.bitlord.com/
Bitlord is Open Source (Free and you may change program) uTorrent is Free in basic program. Either one must be installed and your directories (in Options) must be set to where you want the files to download to.
I used "Aostsoft Any Document Converter Pro" to BATCH convert all my library to Docx. Worked great.
After conversion simply add the authors photo and make into PBB. You may also just open them and SAVE-AS DOCX.

After Bitlord or uTorrent is installed Click on the "Download Torrent"
You may want to look for movies music or books POTHS places many items up in torent form. Torrent download is/should only be used for public domain and property you already own for backup or replacement only! Any other use is illegal. If you don't own the Rights (Already Purchased) then you should not download unless in Public Domain or Free. Torrent files do give you a way to replace damaged media files (i.e. Damaged CD/DVD.) There are many free/open source and public domain files in torrent download format. Many people however upload pirate files. BEWARE and do not give in to temptation... the internet is free, this does not mean we should abuse it. Keep God in your heart. Enjoy the files. Jeff

Torrent sites are dangerous. Not only is there a lot of piracy on them, there is a high risk of trojans/viruses. I would stay away. I never go to a website with "torrent" in its name. Very tempting to go to these sites to get movies you've been looking for that you can't find anywhere else -- e.g., out of print and rare but not out of copyright. But it's not worth the risk to my computer security nor my conscience.
If these documents are truly public domain files, they should be available elsewhere too. For example, most of these books are probably copied from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library site, which does offer them freely to share, but why not go to the source for them? Seems safer. Maybe not as convenient though, as you'd have to download them one at a time, from different pages.

I take Rosie's caution seriously. I am curious, though, if the DOC files you download are formatted with headings, etc. Unless I am missing something Christian Classics Ethereal Library doesn't seem to offer Word files.

My curiousness prevailed. I threw caution to the wind and downloaded it. It's a real mixed bag. Some are formatted well, others not so much. They also aren't all doc files. Some are rtf. I did put them through a virus scanner and they all came through with no viruses detected.

Prudent to scan document files downloaded from internet (along with keeping computer system up to date):
