What would it take to start a Fleetwood Mac Torrent hosting board?

77Rumours77 · #1 01-04-2005, 01:49 PM

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.

What do the rest of y'all think?

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.

Neil, you'd have to get hold of the CD-Rs that Devilgal originally sold. She didn't originally compress; she went straight from cassette (or in some cases quarter-inch tape) to audio CD-R (undoubtedly as WAV files).

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.

Sounds like a plan to me

Most of the tracks came from the Misc Demos sets #1 - #8 and the Roughs set, most came from a trade, however I think I collected some as MP3s, I'll try and verify each track and let you know what I am unsure about.

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.

This is what copyright holders should go after. Look how many times he's sold copies of this one dvd! I know this was out on LD and VHS but never to my knowledge on DVD. I'm sure nobody's getting any royalties on his sales. This is why I stick to trading audience recorded stuff not the PRO shot vids and audio. What this guy's doing is wrong.

His comments are hilarious:

"This is a region free DVD (not VCD) it comes sealed and shrinkwrapped !"

Worst of all...he has 100% feedback rating!

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!

Here's a good link or two that should help you with verifying all those various sources.

Thanks for this, the frequency analyser tells that (at least the first couple of tracks tested) of the CDR Trade source are in fact non compressed source.

Now all I need to do is get the MP3 source material upgraded
