Good file share sites/programs?
As usual, I'm out of the loop again. Other than newsgroups, where's the best place to get music (preferably the free kind) these days on the 'net? Album downloads, rare stuff, etc?
Bootlegs galore, with some 'rare gems' showing up on occassion. All lossless/bittorrent style...

Just a quick follow-up question:
I've been able to register with all the sites except Dime A Dozen. Every time I've checked over the last month I still get the same message telling me I can't register 'cause they've reached their 100,000 user limit. Yet, when I check the stats (currently showing 100,004), it always shows 100-200 new users registered in the last 24 hours. I'm wonderin' how they're managing to get it?
So, is there a good/best time to try and sign-up? Or, am I doing something wrong?

I'm not sure about this, so your best bet would be to contact the moderators: dimemods@dimeadozen.org

Thanks 801...that's what I'll most likely end up doing.
Just some random observations on the live torrent sites. Boot City and Dime A Dozen (which, as noted, I've yet to taste) seem to be the big dogs, with Traders Den, Pure Live Gigs and Zombtracker on the next tier in terms of content variety and U/D traffic - all the more tougher when one is trying to satisfy ratio requirements as well as just leeching the good stuff.
A lot of of cross-content between all of them too.

I hear ya. And if that's not bad enough, there seems to be this phenomenon where every self-proclaimed mastering engineer feels the need to "fix" the recordings...often in a detrimental way.
Personally, I find some of the restrictions silly. I understand that lossy is the bane of all these sites. But, is a 8th generation tape of a piss-poor audience recording in lossless form any better?
