Slashdot Mirror
Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files?
Fred Nowicki asks: "If you have ever used the P2P client Direct Connect (or DC++) to find media on the Internet, you know that the best hubs have ridiculous sharing requirements, i.e., over 100GB. It isn't too difficult to amass a collection of 100GB of illegal movies and MP3s with all the crap that's out there, but I'd like to play it straight: I want to collect 150GB of pure legal stuff. So here's my million dollar question: What is the best and fastest way for me achieve this? I want to offer interesting, neat stuff (movies, music, programs, etc.), not just Linux distros, mind you. One thing I've found so far is a mirror of the Prelinger Archives on archive.org, which offers over 37GB of wacky, interesting stuff on divx format (in MPEG-2, it's over 350GB, but that seems like cheating if I take that route). One downside of this site is that it's not a very fast connection (about 50KB/sec through their FTP via my cable modem -- I'd like a throughput of at least 100KB/sec). I've considered mirroring the Gutenberg project, but there are all sorts of redistribution issues with a bunch of their files, and I don't want to go through all that hassle. Come on, Slashdot. Give me some URLs!"
...much like this one.
At least they were good sources.. up to about 4:40pm today.
If it's not one thing, it's Steve's Mother

You forgot one. It's also for people who are nobody special to make themselves feel better by insulting complete strangers, usually entire classes of them.
Allistar, if you are one of the people posting these AC Somethingawful-ims, I will have to hurt you. :)
tRANSELEMENt are the new champions of the British underground. As a live act they play heavy, melodic and unusual punk- some people call it psychedelic punk but it's anything but retro sounding. On record they do almost everything from electronica to hip hop to mock- operas but mash everything up in their inimitable way. Their first studio album is released this month and it has already received many rave reviews from the British music press.
You MUST download their 'Live in Lincoln' show from February of last year. It was professionally recorded and the sound quality is as good, if not better, than many commercial live albums. Many have claimed it to be one of THE must- have albums of 2002. There is a link to it on the tE MP3 page and you can also get it off Furthurnet.
In addition to this they've also just released their latest album online in MP3 format and last year they released a complete VCD for free too! At the moment the VCD is not available for download anywhere but if anyone out there has got some spare server space going then drop the band a line.
