What would it take to start a Fleetwood Mac Torrent hosting board?
I would love it if we could get a torrent hosting board.... Although i dont know how to host a Torrent file... Only download... I can learn though... I think It would have to be a group effort because hosting aroung 4 or 5 1GB boots a week could get expensive... Does anyone know where you can get a tracker?
It would be cool if we could do something like this.. (Van Halen torrent site) http://jamtothis.com/ or we could have something like sharing the groove used to be. Anyone have any comments... suggestions? Its only a dream right now but with an effort it could be more than that.

I would love to see a Fleetwood mac only torrent site, however a word of caution, bit-torrent seems to be a dirty word at the moment in the eyes of the copyright holders, I know easytree and what we would be uploading is not commercially available, but before anyone gets associated with any site that hosts torrents maybe they should seek the official line from FM managament.
Now of course I know that this is not likely to be forecoming, but it would worth a shot. Speaking of FM torrents I have just complied a Tango from the Vaults collection as well as a Mirage from the Vaults (complied from the recent comps from the Harding Stash) as a playlist on my iPod and would like to torrent these, but with the "no MP3 source material" attitide over at easytree I cannot verify that every track is not MP3 sourced.

There are enough of us around who either bought the original CD-Rs or saw the crappy artwork on the originals to make this possible.

I would love to see this happen. Some of the stuff I have found on easytree from other artists is incredible. It's highly unlikely that without that tracker any of it would have seen the light of day, or at least made it's way to me.
I'd like to torrent more Mac/Stevie stuff over there but like nodmod, am unsure of the source of a lot of the boots I have. |

I've made a few friends over at easytree. A lot of great traders and archivists there, but yer right, wow, are they crabby about lineage and source. We have so much mp3 source material in our trade circles that it makes it hard to share what we have on that site. It still seems a waste to start a Fleetwood Mac torrent site when that one works so well. We should make more use of what's there but just torrent the good stuff we can verify.
First, we need to clean up our sources by getting back to the original cd and tape like you've mentioned. Another way I've started to clean up my stuff before trading with the torrent guys is to rip good audio from my video sources. I have some VHS and dvds with better source audio than a lot of audience boots floating around the trade community. I know they don't want mp3 material on the torrents, but just because something is sourced from an original tape doesn't mean it's worth trading either. There are a lot of lousy uncompressed audio boots going around that are not as good as the audios I've ripped from my old video tapes and dvds. We can put out the best things on easytree and people can download or not as they wish. Not everything there is perfect but alot is much better than what you find floating around FM trade circles. We need to make the effort to put only the best stuff out so everyone will be cool with it. It might take some time to get other traders on board with what we FM fans torrent but that's only because FM boots have a bad reputation. I haven't seen any complaints so far about the FM material uploaded to date. As long as the door is open we should take advantage of what's there and do what we can to bring the FM music up to standard and get it out to more listeners than our own camp. Fans of other bands are still sitting on gems we'd want because they know we'll poison our own well (had to say that ) if they allow us to get good source material and degrade it amongst ourselves. The point about the industry torrent backlash is important to note. However, if anyone in the band got serious about attacking fans trading home made audience recordings, some of their own camps have some splainin to do about how stuff gets out that wasn't home made by fans. |

I saw this the other day.... and it had me fooled for a second - just looking at the dvd... It looks pretty official with the printing right on the dvd! (it's obviously not) But what's surprising are the amounts that people are spending on this dvd... a few have sold for more then $40 each US... and one of them at $67! That's insane!!!
I agree... go after the real pirates! |
