that is great. where did you get all of these songs from? were you collecting them over the years.

wildheart048 · #17 02-08-2008, 04:56 PM

Yeah, I've just been collecting Stevie since around the time of Tusk...at one point when cds first came out, I sent all my vinyl stuff (I mean demos, remixes etc) out to this guy I had found in Goldmine and he converted it all for me...and then, with the advent of the internet, of course, like everyone else here, I've added to it...I just finally, a couple of months ago, decided to get everything in some semblance of order, so that's what I've been working on, and thought I'd share some of the stuff... glad you like it!

It's so very nice of you to share, Michael. I haven't downloaded any of these yet. I guess the mention of spyware scared me off. Was that just a joke, or does that site actually put spyware in the files? How is the sound quality of your copy of Three Birds Of Rhiannon? The audio on that demo is usually not very good and I already have a copy, so I'm wondering if it would be worth downloading again if your copy is better. Maybe someone who has already downloaded it can give their opinion. Thanks again for your generosity!!

For anyone who has problems with MediaFire, there are some tricks to using it. I might be able to help out if you tell me what problems you are having with it.

Blackroses, I don't know if they were joking or not, but I have downloaded a bunch of stuff from sendspace and never experienced any spyware problems or anything. I never have to install anything to download them either. You should be fine using it. Although, having said that, I am not exactly a computing genius, so I can only say that, from my personal experience, downloading from sendspace is safe. And, just while I'm here, often when I'm uploading to mediafire, it finishes, but instead of doing the verifying thing, it comes up with an error message. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this? It's extremely frustrating.

Hi Blackroses...First of all, you're welcome...I enjoy sharing when I have the time to do it..secondly, I've not had any problems with spyware from up or downloading from sendspace, at all...

As to 3 Birds...I find the sound is pretty good for a boot from that time period...I mean it's not pristine, but it's 'ipodable' (in my opinion) ... That's sort of how I test them...if I can play it and have it sound ok alongside released songs and such, I'm happy...I am by far not a tech wiz or anything like that, so it's really just if there isn't an over abundance of static, echo or distortion, the sound is decent, and the costumes are ok, I can dance to it

... Hope that answers some of your questions!

Hi Livvy,

Thanks for the info. I feel a little better about the spyware issue now.

As for MediaFire, I can understand why you'd be frustrated after spending so much time uploading only to have it error out at the end. I'm not sure what the verifying error is. Most of the problems I and others have experienced are at the beginning stages of a large file upload. Do you remember what the error says? Does it happen all the time, or only on certain uploads? The verifying process is somewhat slow anyway. What operating system and anti-virus/firewalls do you have? Are you on dial-up? I will try to figure out what is causing this if you can give me a little more information.

Yes, it sure does answer my questions. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll be downloading your 3 birds shortly.

blackroses · #25 02-09-2008, 10:24 PM

OK, I downloaded Sisters Of The Moon too. It sounds great. I was going to download Storms, but the download link is for Tusk. Michael, I think you accidentally posted the Tusk one twice. Thanks again for posting these!!

Oh, and one more thing..."No spyware".

I heavily scanned the files for it before I even opened them.
All is good.

That's good

. It would suck to miss out on all these awesome downloads.
With the mediafire problem, I think it usually just says something along the lines 'there was an error in verifying this file'. It isn't very detailed, and it isn't just one file that it has a problem with, it's all files I have tried recently. The first couple of times I used it it worked really well, and then after a while, it began to come up with error every so often, and then all the time. I think the firewall I have is Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security. I'm not on dial-up, I'm on broadband, which I think what DSL is called here. Thank you for taking the time to reply, and hopefully you can help me out with this!

You're very welcome. There are some strange conflicts with the site and some PC security softwares, but it usually occurs at the beginning of an upload and prevents it from starting, then shows an error page like the one you described. I had problems when I was using different security software than I'm using now. The only way around it is to pause protection momentarily until the file starts to upload, then immediately enable protection again. It just needs to get started, and after that it continues to upload fine with firewall/protection on. This is not an ideal method, since it's a bit risky, but it usually works, and it's only momentary. However, I can't see any reason why this would occur after the file is already uploaded, which makes me think something else is going on. Are you uploading into an account? If so, have you checked to make sure the file did not somehow go through?...probably a stupid question, since I'm sure you have. I'll keep working on this and hopefully come up with a solution for you.

Livvy · #28 02-10-2008, 01:24 AM

Okay, so maybe if I turned off security near the end of the download, it'd work? And yes, I am uploading into an account, and I have checked. It just doesn't seem to like my computer for some reason. Thank you so much for putting time into this. If I can ever help you with anything, please let me know!

How nice of you, thank you!

I don't know if it will work or not. Finding these kinds of culprits can be so difficult. If you try it, make sure you know how to do it quickly, then as soon as verification starts, enable your protection immediately again. I'm not familiar with your security software, but you should be able to do this by right clicking on the Trend Micro icon in your system tray, then left clicking "disable" or "pause" in the menu. Enable it again the same way.

I would recommend first trying to disable individual settings. If you have privacy protection, try just disabling that alone first by going into the settings window, then see what happens. Just make sure after you're done uploading that you enable your privacy again. Good luck.

I'm worried that I'm taking this thread way off the subject. My apologies to everyone who came here for "Sea Of Love".

OMG! I'm sorry! I will reup storms correctly...sorry to anyone who dl'd the wrong song! ARGH! Oh wait...maybe I just put the wrong link? I will check it and if so, add the right link...otherwise, tomorrow I will get Storms back up!
