help
 

Hey Jimmy...
What you need to do is download a "Torrent Downloader" I use Bit tornado.. http://bittornado.com/
There you can save the file to where ever you want and Bit torndao will open up and do the rest itself...Then after it is complete you will be able to do whatever you want. Now if you are downloading audio.. Well thats a whole different ball game.. PM me if you need help with that..
O BTW if you close it out or shut down your comp... Once you'v restarted you need to click on the file you donwloaded from the site and it will open back up. Hope this helped some.
Bye

Nicely done... Thanks for that!!

Dammit, after I download the Bit Torrent thing, my computer doesn't know what application to open it with......HELP anyone?
I've never had any luck with the BT thing.

this deoends on if you are using XP. If your using XP I can help, but if you are using something else, you'll have to contact bit tornado makers. OK, what you should do is right click the file and selct "Open With" and then hit select program from list, and then select Bit Tornado. Then after you do this any other Bit Torrent file you will download should automatically be directied to bit tornado.
Hope I could help
:thumbsup: :cool:

It also will work if you just "click" on the torrent file and when a box pops up that says something like "Windows Doesn't recognize the file" and gives you an option to choose to open it with something else... choose "browse" and go find the torrent program you downloaded and installed into your computer and click on it from that browse window and it should work from there... From that point, your computer will recognize any other torrent files.

Sweet! :] Thanks for posting this!
Also thanks to Neil for sharing!

What songs are on the Tusk rehearsal?

From easytree:

Single Camera Shot of the 20th Oct rehearsal where the following songs were rehearsed:

Say You Love Me,
The Chain,
Oh Well,
Dreams,
Not That Funny
Rhiannon,
Over and Over,
The Ledge,
Sara,
What Makes You Think You're The One,
Save Me A Place,
Landslide,
Oh Daddy,
Angel,
You Make Loving Fun,
I'm So Afraid,
World Turning,
Go Your Own Way,
Tusk,
Sisters Of The Moon,
Sisters Of The Moon #2.
I Know I'm Not Wrong,
Songbird.

I didn't want to announce this in the forums, since I figured Neil might want to do it himself. But I thank the man for opening up roads with this; as of now no one else in the community has shown any real interest in sharing lossless (qualitywise) material through bit torrents.

A couple of things people should still remember: those with dial-ups shouldn't bother because the files are large, that third day of Tusk tour rehearsals is 3,95 Gb in its entirety. And even with DSL users, should they be firewalled, the things can go slow, unless the firewall is configured for BT.

Also, Neil's upload is pretty low at 10 Kb/s. He started uploading Lindsey's Center Stage DVD about 52 hours ago, and currently we're at 64%. Patience is needed here. ;)

Note also that the Tusk rehearsal DVD is already quite an old torrent; most people who completed it in the first place are gone and there's only three people offering those files to others right now. So the download will be very slow at this point.

The most important thing: KEEP THOSE TORRENTS GOING AFTER YOU'RE DONE! The fairest thing is to upload at least as much as you download, meaning that your share ratio would be 1.00. Easytree monitors its users share ratios very closely these days; if it drops below a certain point you won't be able to use the site anymore.

Is it worth it? I say yeah. The Tusk rehearsal DVD comes from a low-generation tape, the amount of drop-outs isn't distracting and the audio sounds great. You get to see Chris play guitar on two songs, you get to see Lindsey play Fender on two songs, you get the funny "IKINW" incident, etc. If you haven't seen this, or if your copy of this is poor quality, jump aboard.

Center Stage DVD should kick some butt as well. Easytree also has the audio rip of Lindsey's 1993 ABC In Concert special still seeded.

And btw Jacob, in offering stability for downloads and uploads I think Azureus beats every other BT program hands down. ;)

I'm getting cable in 8 days, so please keep this up for awhile!

Wow, I think it might actually be downloading now. I have DSL, and it says it's going to be 160 HOURS to download!!!!!!!! :shrug:

I have broadband but it seems to be going a bit faster now. I'm about a third of the way there.
These are the first bit torrent files I've downloaded. Once they're done, how do I burn them? Can I use Easy CD Creator? What is the file extension for DVD's?

so
 

So i shouldn't even bother with dial up...................

For the bit torrent newbies you may wish to check out the Lindsey Buckingham ABC in Concert audio files which are only 126mb in total size. THis torreent is posted at the following urlhttp://www.easytree.org/torrents-det...cp.php&id=7688

Lindsey Buckingham - ABC In Concert 1992

Hosted by Sara Jessica Parker, Lindsey sings live and acoustic and talks about his latest solo album (Out Of The Cradle) and his departure from Fleetwood Mac.

1. Intro
2. Countdown
3. Commercial - Dialogue
4. Never Going Back Again
5. Commercial
6. Street Of Dreams Interview
7. This Nearly Was Mine - Street Of Dreams
8. Commercial
9. Interview
10. Soul Drifter
11. Outro


Audio ripped from DVD which I believe was recorded from VHS tape which in turn was recorded direct from TV. Audio Linage: DVD -> WAV -> Soundforge to split tracks -> WAV -> SHN

The files are complete and include silences from source tape, no segments have been removed or edited. This is the audio rip of the complete recording.

Also it would be great for other lossless files began to be shared on easytree, so if anyone who is joining up and has some direct to CD shows / DVDs (not MP3 sourced) please so post them, the whole point of torrent / easytree sharing is to upload as many files as you download and bring new good quality shows to the table, to my knowledge only the following Fleetwood Mac shows have been posted (please correct me if I am wrong):

AUDIO
Live in East Rutherford 1997
Live in Green Bay 2004
Live in Nagoya, Japan 1977
Live in Passiac 1975
Dead Dust Blues (live at The Warehouse, New Orleans, Jan 1970)
Live in Filmore East, 7th Aug 1970
Live at the Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA, 19th Feb 1971
Live in Waterbury, CT, April 1972
Lindsey - ABC in Concert 1992 (audio track from DVD)

DVD
Tusk Tour Rehearsal 20th Oct 1979
Lindsey - Center Stage 1992 (currently being seeded)


I apologise for not getting round to posting about this on the board, but I have been busy seeding these shows and working on a bootleg artwork archive page, you can see the work in progress at this link:
http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/artwo...g_artwork.html

And if anyone has any artwork that can be posted or wishes to lend a hand on the page (search, nagavitional help) that would be great.


Let's get sharing Fleetwood Mac and related lossless files

The download rate has adjusted some, and it now says 60 hours. Still,...........looks like I won't be shutting this thing down for a few days! :shrug:

Are you D/L'ing the Tusk DVD? if so the files come down as native DVD files (Video_TS folder) so this is all that needed to burn direct to DVD via Nero or other DVD burning software apps.

I'm D/Ling Tusk and Center Stage. :thumbsup:

confused
 

I am really confused.

I downloadd a bit torrent program successfully and it connected to the program successfully and was downloading very slowly before i went ot bed last night. When i came back i had a message that said couldnt connect or something.


jimmy

If you are downloading the Lindsey audio torrent, these files are in compressed SHN (shorten) file format and they will need re-compiling (see below)

Info below regarding torrent music downloads in flac or shn format

You need to download a Bit Torrent (BT) program
- http://bittornado.com/

Find your show you want and download the torrent file.
- http://bt.easytree.org


When you click on the file the D/L should start using the above bit tornado client

Check your firewalls so not to block the port !

After download you should have the shn / flac and a md5 file

The files if flac or shn will need to be re-compilied via a recompile software program

Download a shn re-complier "MKW Audio Compression"
- http://www.etree.org/software.html

Or FLAC re-complier "Flac Frontend"
- http://mikewren.com/flac/

Click on the MD5 file to verify the downloaded files then drop the source files (if SHN) in the MKW Audio Compression to output wav files.
If FLAC drop the FLAC files into Flac Frontend

And voila you have lossless wav files that can be burnt to CDR via Nero.


Let's get sharing Fleetwood Mac and related lossless files

O man.....
 

235 Hours to go!!!!!! ;) :laugh: :eek:

Too bad...
 

I am currently unable to participate with lossless sharing, Cause I am transferring everything I have to DVD-R with great results & no detectable loss from the source/master disc/tape/etc. (One of the reasons I spent $349.99 for the premium DVD-R/DVD-RAM burner I purchased.) and I wouldnt mind sharing the collection of shows I have.

Brian j.

ps-Hey Neil, I emailed ya awhile back about a possible trade...

Hey Brian,

Did you buy one of those Panasonic dvd players/recorders? If so, I'm just curious how you find it, and are you able to transfer what's on vhs or other dvd's and record it onto another dvd-r? I've been thinking about buying one myself, and looked around on the net to see if there was info... Found alot of info on how you can record from tv and so forth and watch while it's recording, but nothing that says you can record from tape or dvd to dvd-r... I'm sure you can, but just thought I'd ask just to make sure.

Thanks.

Well...
 

I think it is worth the $$$ because I can now transfer my VHS tapes to DVD-R with ease (I have transferred even officially release VHS tapes with ease...Only 1 thus far was protected by 'copyright protection' and thus was unrecordable).

I have also tried to make copies of DVD-R's from my regular DVD player to my burner and found no problems what-so-ever, But you cannot make DVD-R copies of officially released DVD's (They're coded with copyright protection).

I also tried recorded a TV show from the TV directly to DVD-R and found the shows can looks great depending on what speed you record at. The best speed is XP (1 hour) which is the equivalent of SP on a VC, But much-much clearer & crisper. The system I bought also allows you to watch a show that you're recording from the beginning even as you currently record it, I havent tried it yet but I will soon...

The Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD recorder also plays DVD-A's and gives you an option to make the vocals more prominent with the "Emphasis" feature on the "Settings", Which makes for some quite cool sounding discs.


Definitely worth what I paid for it...

Brian j.

I think it's great that someone started sharing dvd's through bittorrent and I hope more people learn how to handle torrents so more dvd's might be shared. BTW i'll be seeding the tusk dvd for some days if somebody hasn't got it yet.

Thanks alot Brian... That was alot of help... :)

I am currently closer than I've ever been to figuring out this BT stuff. This is like the fifth time I've tried. :distress: At least it LOOKS like I might be successful in about another 60 hours. If I'm not, just listen for the scream heard round the world. :cool:
I'm feeling technically challenged.......

Thanks :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Have you seen this?? Is it worth the download?? :confused:

Just download it - you can figure it out afterwards... If you able to download that's pretty much half the battle won. That's what I did when I first was trying to figure it out. It took me a whole weekend to wrap my brain around all the instructions... and I know it all sounds confusing, but it's really quite simple when you have the right tools and kind of neat frankly. The reason it's slow is there must not be many people seeding the discs... meaning as you are downloading you are uploading at the same time to others... If you cancel the download once you've got what you need... then it takes you out of the download/upload pool that provides others with the sessions. That's why it's important and pretty much a rule that if you download something of this nature, it's common courtesy to upload the same amount for others. Keeps things flowing and more people can take advantage of it.

I just kept using google and searching bit torrent instructions and read as much as possible to get a consensus on what to do...

Not yet but I'm really looking forward to it. Anyway it's Fleetwood Mac stuff and in dvd and in Eztorrent, so is definetely worth the download. :)

There are other torrent downloads of Fleetwood Mac if anyone is interested at www.suprnova.org It's mainly, or all actually, commercial releases.

Just do a search at the top of the page.

So I just finished the ABC download...now I'm seeding it, according to BitTornado. However, I can't seem to find the files. Where are they? :laugh:

Try one of the folders that the bit torrent possibly created underneath that folder.... It's there. It will be called "Lindsey Buckingham - ABC In Concert" exactly like that... a yellow folder.

You'll need this program to verify the download.

Why does this **** have to be so $%^&ing hard to figure out????
Obviously this was not designed for the average computer user. :rolleyes:

Dude, tell me about it. :lol:

Got 'em. Thanks!

Okay, now mkwACT won't download onto my computer. Suggestions anyone?
