I should add this about the uploaded shows.....



When I first started uploading this stuff, I used megaupload. For megaupload, I generally created one or more winzip archives of the .flac files. To retrieve the music via megaupload:

1. Click on the megaupload link.
2. It will open a page on their site, and request you to enter 3 alpha characters in a little box. Enter those, and press "download." 3. If you do not have a premium acct, it will start a countdown (25 secs for free acct. holders and 45 secs. for non acct. holders). Once the countdown ends, the box will turn gray and say "Free Download." Click the box, and another box will pop up asking you to open or save the winzip file. Save the file. Download speeds are usually about half of what your ISP provides. 4. Once you download 1 part, you may have to wait up to 2 hours to be able to download another. I know, it sucks.

After experiencing continued problems with Megaupload, I decided to switch to MediaFire. At first, I uploaded all of the tracks individually, because I thought it would be cool to just download one track to gauge the quality and determine if one wanted the whole thing. Then one day, I had to download something I uploaded, and realized what a pain in the ass it was to d/l 20 separate files. So, thereafter, all future uploads were done with equally split winrar archives (they have a 100 mb file size limit on free accts.). To retrieve the music via MediaFire:

1. Click on the long MediaFire link. It will take you to a page with all the files needed to download. 2. Click on the first file (either .flac for individually uploaded tracks or .rar for winrar archive) 3. Upon clicking it, a new page (or tab) will appear. In the middle of the left hand side, it
will say "Click here to start download."
4. Click it, and about 5 seconds later a pop up box will appear asking you
to either open or save the file.
5. Save the file, and upon completion, close the new page (or tab) and return to step 2 for the next file.

**2 Important things**
1. You have to download all of the .rar files before you try to extract the files. If you don't have winrar, you can download a trial version that works forever from their website. It says it only works for 40 days, but the basic functions continue working. 2. Download speeds are much faster with MediaFire, and there is no wait period for you to continue.
