What are you downloading now?
 

i'm bored, so i thought i'd create this thread, much in the vein of the "what are you eating now?" thread, and the like...
i'm currently dl-ing some John Coltrane, South Park Episode 312, and "All Star" by Smash Mouth..

I'm, amazingly, not downloading anything right now.


H-D :rainbow:

pr0n (haha)

me too. i kinda downloaded every song ever made. plus i need the excersize.

Oh no not another one of these threads :laugh:

I'm not downloading anything, I haven't for awhile now

I'm downloading some Michelle Branch (who is actually a REAL singer), Yellowcard. Killswitch Engage.

ive been looking for that new Everlast song, White Trash beautful, but its been a bitch to find. Never been a big Everlast fan, but some of his songs has a nice beat to them.

Boogiepop Phantom (wierd, crazy, tweisted anime show)

i've got that song... you want it?

YEA!

I never got much into anime, the only anime that i ever got into was Ronin Warriors. but now the closest thing i got is Sexy Beach 2, because DOA Volley Ball just aint cutting it.

Al - what works best for you? email or aim?

i got broadband, so its all the same to me. choose and PM me about it.

South Park Episode 312, "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" and Episode 806, "Goobacks"... just those 2 and I've got the full complement to date!

I'm trying to download Avril's Don't Tell Me, but all files I d/led so far on Kazaa are corrupted (7 already... :mad: )

I wish I had access to videopimp site as well, so I could d/l Seether video with Amy Hot Lee!

Kazaa sucks... www.softgap.com has this program, Ares, that has absolutely no corrupted files (plus, at my school, bandwidth is not restricted for this as it is on Kazaa)

Kazaa Ressurection. its kazaa lite brought back to life. or if you still use the regular Kazaa download a free file called Diet K. its removed all the spyware and apps.

huh? I use Kazaa lite... if that's what you asked.

I just downloaded an old "Downtime" clip that was originally on the Creed Pager (I think). I don't know I haven't watched it yet.

yeah, Al, if you're talking about kazaa lite (which, i believe, is no longer available for free download), i had problems w/ corrupted files on there too

nothing right now, but later on I will.

Those files that you guys keep calling corrupt, aren't really corrupted. They are deliberatly placed in there by the recording industry. Now before you scream 'Conspiracy Theory' hear me out. A while back when Kazaa was first under hot water, if you downloaded a popular file, chances are that you got a copy that only looped the first verse continuously for the duration of the song. Well those were still somewhat popular by the masses so that idea was ditched. You may still find them, but your more likely to get a legit file than the looped ones. So now the ingenious plan to foil our leechfest has been to release all songs prior to thier studio release with obscure amounts of distortion. For example, if you open any of them up in a audio editor you will get THIS in this case its Elton John's Rocketman. All mp3's have two channels [if they are recorded in mono, the same sound is on both channels]. If you look at the picture you can see that during the 'corrupted time' one of the channels has the distorted noise and the other is completely blank. If the file were truely corrupted, then NO media player will play it or it would crash the media player resulting a chain reaction of latency and systematic crashes.

Going back to to the idea of downloading music. . . .

Stoleded from Me

Ok, show of hands, how many of you want free or very cheap music? What if I told you that was a reality and you wouldn't have to deal with another p2p? Well several Russian websites have been offering these services for approx $0.01 per megabyte - I shit you not! The reason that it's like this is due to infation. when comparing the US Dollar to the Russian Ruble; One USD ($1) comes out to about 30 - 40 rubles. So this is as expensive to them as iTunes or Napster is to us. The icing on this cake is that they are high quality mp3's (192kbps), transferable, burnable and dont need a DMCA licence! As of today this is completely legal (albiet very grey) and a booming business. I dunno about you, but I'm going to try these.

UPDATE: Yes I know, I know... I forgot to add the url links to the Russian web sites. Well here are the most popular ones and as we speak I am checking them out.
Club MP3Search
All of Mp3

To quote X - I have way too much free time.

LMAO, Mulletman! That's some cool info, thanks...I'm not downloading anything at the moment. Last week, though, I downloaded a boot of the APC show I went to last fall. Kick-azzzzzz show!

so? the big genious still didn't say where to get perfect quality files for free...

i paid and downloaded the Matrix Revolutions sound track - all 16 tracks at amazing quality for $1.17. I think thats as close to as free as it gets for now.

so those files aren't accidentally corrupted, but just a means of tracking people or something? at least people aren't dumb enough to keep 'em once they realize they're fucked up.
www.softgap.com has free software called Ares, it's p2p just like KaZaA, except without spyware or any of that crap. seriously, check it out. you can find songs of varying quality: lowest i've seen for mp3's or wma's is 64, up to sometimes 320. i'm using it as i speak to download songs from the Vice City Soundtrack.
