Sorry,
Wasn't on the net for a little while. did you check out dimeadozen? Thats where the legal soundboard stuff is right now. You will need to also download a program like burst or azzareous (spelling) to get the down loads. Email me at cathouse7hotmail.com for more specifics. warning: if you venture to the illegal sites you MUST use protection like peer guardian. the above mentioned azzareous has peer guardian built into it. Peer guardian is kind of neat anyway, as these people block the LATEST in spyware and pop up technology much more precisely than other programs like spybot, adawre, or spyware blaster, which I also use. Of course it also block government and music industry sites- they can't connect to you and you can't connect to them. Peer guardian is updated every 24 hours. Google search BURST! and go to the site for a free download. This is the bit torrent client you need to download the bit torrents @ www.dimeadozen.org Dimeadozen allows only 100,000 people at atime, so when you sign up it might reject you the first time. Just keep doing it until you get in. Then you must download something every 60 days or so or you will have to reregister. Also, after you have completed your download you want to leave your computer running until you have seeded others. A ratio is keep of your download to upload and it needs to remain above .25, which is easy. If you venture to illegal sites where music, seasons of tv shows, porn and all that, I have heard that you "snatch and grab and get out" Myself, I'm happy with the legal downloads. Not all are soundboards, some are audience recordings which are sometimes not the best quality. there will be a description of all this when you look at the bit torrent. If you like it, click on it and your computer will download a littl file thing, hit OK, then burst will activate and connect you to the seeders. Also on the bit torrent you can click on "all peers" and see a list of everyone who is either seeding or leaching. Get the burst bit torrent client installed and get on board with dimeadozen and start downloading. Most of the concert are 2-3 cd. some shows are on dvd which are of course much larger files and can take 2-3 days to download. I usually down load 3-5 at the same time and then I leave it on long enough for other leachers to get at least as much as I took, sometimes 2-3 times as much. The neat thing is, the more people in the tree, the faster it goes! Let me know how this is coming, once you get started its fairly intuitive, but I had questions when I frst started. You can comment and leave messages and so forth if looking for something in particular, or if no seeders are currently seeding.

Regards, Russellc
