Never got around to figuring out this torrent business but it does look like it's gone for good:

(from the easytree website)
Hello gals and guys,

We're very sorry having to tell you that we had to shut down EZT just a couple of minutes ago.

We got a call from our provider, they had received a few letters from a couple of lawyers. They requested EZT to be shut down immediately, otherwise we and the hosting service would be sued.

As you may imagine, we do not have the funds to fight a battle we most probably can't win anyway.

We would like to thank everyone here for their contributions to EZT, one way or the other, for sharing the music, sharing an ideal, for all your mails, rants, praises...

To say it with Joan Armatrading:

We had fun, fun, fun, fun
fun, fun, fun, fun
we had fun -- while it lasted...
--"Tall in the Saddle"--

You all take good care!

The EZT team

Talking For anyones who wants to know.....

EzT was closed beacsue a Nirvana DVD! (BITCH! )
The DVD was NIRVANA 08/30/1992 Reading Festival
Complete PRO Shot DVD "Smell Like Teen Spirt"

A German company had the rights to this DVD and threatened to sue if the site was not shut down
There are talks of the site coming back under a differnet name..... Time will tell I guess.

Exclamation Here's the rumor I read...

about the demise of EZT (On another music trade site):

Some bootleggers (Idiots out for $$$ only) were jealous that EZT had the Nirvana (Yo, Kurt GO-Bang!) DVD listed so it could be shared freely, But since it was listed and they (Money grubbing asstards bootleggers) saw their possible pockets not being lined with $$$ they decided to notify the German rights owner of the Nirvana DVD...Better to make sure no one has the show than to have it freely shared about without having to pay some bootlegger to view it.

---------------------------

I dont know if that is true, But I dont doubt it for a second considering a few run-ins I have had with bootleggers who worship the almighty $$$ ("God Bless the Almighty Dollar...Cause in Greed We LST!")

Thumbs up Relisted on dimedozen.org

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=35533

Fleetwood Mac Largo 75 & Japan 77 Pro Shot NTSC DVD Great

**See the CAVEAT below.**

Both of these are upgrades to the VHS copies I have had for years, with the addition of the annoying "FOR SCREENING ONLY" declaration at the bottom of the screen throughout both shows. However, once you get over this both concerts are great, especially the '75 Largo show. I am unsure of the lineage as I received it from a friend who specializes in video trading nearly exclusively and he gets the good stuff. These are recent upgrades for him.

Excuse the chauvinism ladies, but the 1975 Stevie is a treat for the eyes in jeans and bare middrift. By the '77 Japanese TV show she has big hair. Christine is looking fine and playing well as usual. Both shows are excellent quality both video and sound. Lindsey Buckingham is on fire throughout. "I'm So Afraid" is great, and he pays homage to the great Peter Green in both shows. "The Chain" is a highlight for me in the '77 show, but the rest is great as well.

Both are pro shot. The menu is crude, only a selection for each show, not for each song. Otherwise it's killer as we like to say around these parts.

**CAVEATS:
1) Per above, there is the annoying "FOR SCREENING ONLY" display which runs thoughout both shows. If you have a better copy without this, I would like to download yours.

2)At 11:15 into the '75 show there is a 15 second tone blast reminiscent of the days when tv channels actually went off the air late at night which I assume was in the broadcast. This is conveniently between songs.

3) On the "Young Music Show"-at 7:00 in Rhiannon there is a weird sound for about 2 seconds -at 17:15 in Go Your Own Way there is a weird sound for about 2 seconds

Otherwise, this is good stuff.

Same seeder as the one above has seeded another dvd:

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=36640


Fleetwood Mac Young Music Show Outtakes & Rosebud Film NTSC DVD

In contrast to the first dvd, I've never had either of these before. I'm assuming the outtakes portion of this is an upgrade since it has the "FOR SCREENING" banner at the bottom like the first dvd. I would imagine whoever had to put that banner in would have done it with "Rosebud" if it was an upgrade, but I don't know.

Anyhow, overall, both of these look and sound very good. Rosebud has some tape drag in a spot or 2, but otherwise is great with decent sound and picture.

Those of you who were here in the beginning with the first dvd will recall the drama when it got hung up during seeding. I still don't understand what happened since I never messed with the dvd once it was saved to the hard drive, but I had to upload nearly twice the full size before it started to seed. Hopefully that won't happen this time. (I was intoxicated when I uploaded the first dvd and was SURE it had nothing to do with that, and it appears it didn't. Pefectly sobor tonight...)

The quality is staggering. It's far and away the best version of either I've ever seen.

Yup. It really is very good. I don't even mind the "for screening only" thing. And I love Stevie in her jeans and that cool old 70's style long shawl.

In quality it looks to me like the one maureen sold with the counter in the bottom of the screen

Of course that was a major upgrade from the one we all had 15 yrs ago!
