Del Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Music:bt.etree.orgtmnsp.netcotapers.orgarchive.orgthetradersden.orgThere are others as well...You'll also need a BitTorrent client, a program to expand .shn files (Shorten) and a program to expand .flac files (FLAC). I use a Mac, so I'm probably no help with which ones to grab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headygouda Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 dimeadozen.org (the old easytree.org) is a big one too.I would expect you to start torrenting like a banshee.. so you'll need a good BT client like Azureus.Get flac frontend here - it'll install everything yhou need from winamp plugins to the FLAC gui:www.mikewren.com/flacYou should get mkwACT for SHN decompression somewhere in the downloads/software sectino of:www.etree.org (right side lists software, PC & MAC)You should use an FTP program as well (like SmartFTP), so you can queue up entire drives for downloading from the archive...or as much off one drive as you want!

bouche Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Babsy, you inspired me to put a list together. It should help and I'm sure there are alot more resources available. I'll add anything that anyone thinks should be added.BitTorrent FaQs and Links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Peace,Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have an iMac G4, running OSX 10.1 (whichever one the Jaguar update was). I use:BitTorrent_OSX-3.1MacFLAC 2.0.1Shorten for Macintosh v1.1a4and because FTPs were mentioned:Cyberduck 2.0bI got them all for free off the internet just by searching. There might even be better versions available now, but these work fantastically for me... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
