Would TM-Town.com be a good way to use a low budget computer with no more than 4 GB RAM on holidays? E.g. with CafeTran with integrated support for TM-Town.com.

I'd also like to know how much traffic will be generated by this approach. Is this something you can do with a typical bad, shared internet connection on the camping? Or with a USB dongle for a flat rate with Vodafone etc.? ▲ Collapse

Hi Hans,

Additionally, if you are not using CafeTran and you are camping and want to search what you have uploaded to TM-Town I would recommend using TM-Town's "Lite" version. https://www.tm-town.com/lite/search

It doesn't have autosuggest search or highlighting, but it is a very small page size meant for those using screen readers or with poor internet connection.

Concordance search only Feb 20, 2017

As far as I remember, this means you can do a concordance search only. No fuzziness, no Auto-Assembly.

Cheers,

Hans
