Just download our CD
I convinced the others to let me do this. We want more exposure, but Myspace and PureVolume aren’t getting it done. (Not entirely their fault – it doesn’t help when we can’t promote ourselves as much as we’d like.)
We hope that you’ll like us enough that’ll you recommend it to your friends and send us a few bucks. Or, if you really like the feel of a physical CD, you can order that and we’ll send it to you…shrink-wrapped and ready to enjoy.
What’s the logic? Let’s say 10,000 people download and listen to our CD at no cost. If 5,000 people like it and [hopefully] send five bucks our way, that’s $25,000.
We’ll thrive on word-of-mouth. You’ll be our Street Team.
Catch? With the help of Amazon S3, we’re seeding it using Bittorrent. If you’re on Windows, µTorrent rocks. I think Mac users like Transmission, but I’m not sure. Nate Ritter loves Xtorrent.
Please seed our CD as long as you can.
I’ve said too much. I hope I didn’t lose you. Thanks and enjoy!
Note: So we can keep track of hits, please pass on this link as opposed to emailing the torrent file to your friends. Also, notice that the PayPal link isn’t up yet – I’ll put that up ASAP.

Update 2007-12-04 8:50am: I’ve changed my mind. Since I’m discriminating people who don’t use Bittorrent, I’ll put the “direct” download link. (I’m not showing the exact location.) When the bandwidth for the month gets too high for me, I’ll remove the link and file. But, I’ll put it back the next month.
Update 9:27am: Thanks to Fireside Media for donating a lot of bandwidth! I feel blessed.

I downloaded the torrent and tried to unzip it and all I get is a cpgz file which doesn’t uncompress further. just me?

@Paul: I think so. I haven’t heard any problems from the 5 or 6 other friends that have tried it. I’ll delete mine and test it again.
Thanks!

@Paul: I just tried it again. It downloaded fine for me. (Phew.)

I’m a mac user and I thought Transmission was fine until I found XTorrent. That rocks the hizzouse.
Anyway, I had the same problem as @Paul. Why is it using a .zip extension in the filename anyway? Weird.

Fixed it by right clicking on the file and downloading it, then loading that into my XTorrent client.
Will listen soon. Thanks for the dl. Cheers to you for using the new media!

@Nate: Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll link to XTorrent, and rename the torrent file. You’re not the first to be confused with .zip in the filename.

Yes, Transmission for torrents on the Mac. At least that’s what I use.
