I tried to download it when it first came out, but the site was giving me some difficulties. I was tempted to go get it the 'old fashioned way' but I decided to wait. Otherwise, I would have ended up doing it both ways, and just deleting the 'inappropriate' version.
I just now went and tried again. Took about 5 minutes including queue, registration, and actual download. Listening to it now. It probably would have taken longer to search through a tracker, find a good torrent, load my torrent app, have it find seeds, blah blah blah.
I do hope more artists follow this sort of path. I'll gladly pay the whole $12 or so USD a CD usually costs me if I knew that the whole $12 was going straight to the artists. I'm not even a fan of Radiohead!
