Hello, I'm new on this forum. I've tried to download some live shows (I had several CDs back in the day, but got rid of them when I switched to a different kind of music), but I see most of the shows and demos are long deleted from servers and need to be reuploaded. It looks like most people lost interet in Hole and don't really appreciate those recordings. It is sad. I would like to keep those precious recordings "alive" and available to new Hole fans. I propose to bring the downloads section of this forum to the 21st century. It's not 1999 anymore and it is much easier to share and download music files these days. You don't need to rely on these ultraslow Rapidshare-type of file hosting sites. There are torrents (sites like rutracker.org) and Mega.co.nz that can host 50 GB for a free user forever and is fast to upload/download. What I want to do is: collect as much Hole stuff in lossless form as is possible and then post it on rutracker.org (with direct links posted on this forum), which is a semi-public torrent tracker (it is public, but requires a free registration that is not restricted - anyone can register anytime). One of rutracker's strenghts is that most people seed what they download there, therefore if someone downloads those Hole recordings, they will keep them seeding ulike on sites like Dime (where people don't download less popular stuff because of ratio restrictions) and PirateBay (where people don't seed because it's not designed to make people want to seed). That way the torrent can stay alive for years and years, unlike stuff on DimeaDozen, Zombtracker, PirateBay or Rapidshare. I would keep on seeding the torrent myself and I would post a link here on this forum so that everyone could easily download the torrent without actually going to rutracker.org. I also would upload some of the stuff on Mega.co.nz for those who don't want to download torrents. In terms of copyright infringment, this is perfectly safe as Hole recordings are available on DimeADozen and it never faced any problems. I don't think anyone from Hole/Universal actually cares for this stuff because if they did, this site would have already received threats. So those who think it's a good idea, to start this Hole officially unreleased recordings resurrection project I need to get the actual recordings. I only have like 6 bootlegs and two demotapes. To reiterate, if you're a Hole fan who wants to acquire some live shows or demos, you're doomed these days to wish you were there in the nineties to buy the actual bootleg CDs because most download links are dead and your only option is to watch shitty quality videos on Youtube. The purpose of the project is to gather as much as possible and put everything into several torrents (as well as on Mega.co.nz) to make them easily available for any new Hole fan. That is what I want to have myself and that is what I want to give to the rest Hole fans. Nowadays, when you have fast internet, it's free and easy. Why not do it? I mean, these amazing Hole performances don't have to be forgotten in obscurity! With the high speed of internet and huge amounts of storage these days we could keep them alive and available to those who are interested instead of keeping them only for a chosen few! And again, I promise to keep the torrent seeded for at least a year, and my Mega accounts should keep the files alive for an indefinite amount of time. Is anyone interested in providing me with the recordings for this project? (in a form of a private torrent or a download link?) |

I'm sorry, MechanicalWood, I don't have anything by the bands you named. Thank you for your offer to share some of your stuff! I'll write a PM to you. |
