yeah so i've been reading about the leech thing (leaving it open for a good while) it's cool.
Idownloaded the Yola tengo and the SY @Lorelei. Currently deflacing the YLT.
will check out the sounds when it's done, but it's looking good AND easy? i'd like to share some stuff but i've hadly got ANY wav..
I don't go tapin' shows.

Also (if you haven't done so already) check www.portforward.com - opening your ports helps your ratio a lot.

i've never uploaded a show on dime and i've now downloaded 810GB

^^nice , will do that real soon; thx for the info.
thx Rappard for the Lorelei show. In fact i will be able to reburn a fresh copy of this show. and it originally missed the end of DV69 with Contre.

btw did you have a look in yr files f you had come across the 02.02.1999 SY show in Lyon Transbordeur/France?
I posted a message about this in the lossless archive thread yesterday....
you never know.

Anyway, I'll ask around in trading circles.

mafia!

i remember that sonictooth dude from huh 1956 ha ha
is he still alive?
he had a site up somewhere with his list and all yeah

bah it's a shame my bootleg is so fucked up.
I ripped it and it's just no good, i can't do anything about it.
It's a good show although the sound was kinda too into the reverb.
anyway i've been trying to find this to replace it cuz it had nice artwork and all, you know...
it's nice if you can ask around.
i will buy you huh flowers?

Thread hijack!

I think the last time I saw SonicTooth (real name: M.T.) was prior to the Paris 2002 Yoof show, where he (rightfully) chided me for not recognising Inhuman. :D Shortly thereafter he sold his nice but cramped Marais apartment, moved to the French countryside with his wife and daughter, and auctioned & sold his *massive* Yoof collection on eBay & the previous reincarnation of this board. You wouldn't believe the stuff he had - first editions of pretty much everything, rare acetates, basically every compilation that any Yoof member just even farted on - thousands and thousands of items.

Sadly I've lost touch with him - I did email him a while back at his work address but never received a reply, so I guess he moved jobs. Pity, as he was a really nice guy as well, with none of the comic-bookstore-owner pompousness/creepiness you often see in collectors.

Ou sont les neiges de l'antan? :D

NOOB QUESTION:
This here thread is massive. How long are torrents available?
I mean, if i go back to page 5 of this thread ie Some two years ago, and clink on a dime link , will it still be available or is there a time limit and then it huh autodestroys itself?
mind you, i'll just try.. heh

i think it depends how long people seed it, if there's no seeds for a certain amount of time it drops off the tracker.
