I just started the torrent from hewgill. Seems pretty good. Since I already had 520+ of the songs it went to about 55% done upon startup.

Yeah, I saw the pirate bay one. This one has more songs and isn’t hosted on a sight that could get you pinned with an HR violation if you view it at work.

There’s a torrent already up on the Pirate Bay.

I suspect to see a torrent soon. I’ll post here when it’s ready.

Thanks for the file list. I just finished a wget session to retrieve the list, but I came up with “only,” 523 tracks. Either the missing tracks have been removed, or my session timed out & skipped them. I know you don’t know me from Adam, but is there any way I could get a copy of the full tar.gz?

Thanks,
jw

One command after you’ve done the initial spider:

grep mp3_download *.html | sed ‘s/.*href=”\(.*\)”.*/\1/’ | xargs wget

that’s a nifty bit of trickery there. i just downloaded the text file, reloaded that as a batch download in bitcomet and i’m all set. thanks a lot! i was beginning to doubt whether they’d put it up as well.
