I thought all of the torrent shit sounded complicated at first but it's easy. I guess it's because of the program that I use. Just get µTorrent and install it. Then right-click a file and open it. It will automatically open in µTorrent and start downloading. I didn't even change any of the settings. I still get an NAT error but it doesn't seem to affect my downloads in any way since I can download at full speed when there are a lot of seeders.

Thanks for that. I've re- downloaded the software yesterday and i suppose i'll leave the pc on for a while, in order to grab it. As far as atari is concerned, he needs to double up the dose.

Well, it's quite a short amount of time imo. Just let the program run and do something else in the meantime. For torrented DVDs you would have to wait for days (as long as there is only the original seeder), but most of the times (99%) it's well worth it. If I had, say, "instant" downloads I would never find the time to listen/watch the already downloaded goodies properly, so waiting a few hours/a couple days is not bothering at all.

Hehe, I was "listening" to this dvd (I mean, it was on whole I was doing other stuff) and my heart skipped a beat when the sound had that little "cut", but it's all good.

I'll never do anything with the information most likely, but then again, just maybe I'll get an itch to have some of your brand of "fun" someday.

I wonder if those are the Matthew Kaufmann demos from 1975, because I have those. The landing page doesn't say. It is notated that it was originally seeded on EZT before the change to dime, so I think it is.


So much Hendrix stuff is on official releases. Glad the seeder removed the offending track and re-upped this. Good catch, thanks.

[Torn Curtain]

Regarding the Talking Heads demos there's no seeder, hope that'll get fixed.

EDIT: that's fixed people grabbed it.

There's a new Hendrix torrent up at dime. It was seeded before according to the Info file so you probably already have it. It's been remastered, too. I'll be grabbing it:
Jimi Hendrix & Larry Young, Record Plant NYC 1969 (Remastered)

I'm glad I went for this one after reading your post. It's pretty sweet, so thanks for the heads up, atari.


And thanks to mr. Torn Curtain, too.

[atari 2600]

That Record Plant NYC '69 Larry Young/Jimi Hendrix is pretty unique...a cool listen. Larry plays his signature Hammond organ style and Jimi lays down some tasteful guitar. It's one of those things that you download and listen to and you have the inclination to thank the heavens for the privilege.

As for the Miles, he departed company with his second great quartet/quintet (Hancock, Carter, Williams) by '69, but I can stand the '69 and '70 stuff okay because I like what Miles is playing. (Bitches Brew-era is still okay overall). Wayne Shorter (from the Quintet) is still there. Dave Holland is good, but of course Ron Carter was even better. I also like Jack DeJohnette who is great like Tony Williams, just only in his own way. I don't really care for Chick Corea that much though; I never have, and unfortunately, he has the propensity to stink things up quite a bit.

anyway, '70-'71-ish is my cut-off for live Miles...and I prefer stuff pre-'68, all-in-all...

[atari 2600]

Did any of you get the 5/06/95 The Metro Chicago sbd for Mike Watt All-Stars?

It's really good. (perfect soundboard, excellent performances, cool artwork, etc.) It brings back memories of when I saw this tour. The audio is from pro-shot video and I would like to trade a dvd or something if someone interested happens to have the dvd video of it.
