11.17.12 | Yea I find it borderline impossible to find albums now a days outside of streaming on youtube |
HitlerIsPissed
11.17.12 | yeah it can be a real bitch to get music for free these days if the band is unknown enough. |
menawati
11.17.12 | The worse thing is that the cunting record companies still havent a clue about how to sell digital music. If they cut the prices in half or even more and promoted sites where FLACS or at least 320mp3 were available a load of the borderline downloaders would be buying lots of music. |

11.17.12 | 4shared is the second best! but i think it's faster than mediafire |
climactic
11.17.12 | "filestube, rapidshare, 4shared, rapidgator, blogspots, piratebay, isohunt"
yeah i know, i just loved how quick and simple everything about mediafire was |
demigod!
11.17.12 | i've been going on /rs/ recently and it has good links for pretty much everything i search for
some of the links have dried up recently though, which is scary
and agreed about Mediafire. I long for the days of simply googling "band name - album" and clicking the first or second link |
climactic
11.17.12 | exactly |

11.17.12 | you can find anything if you look hard enough. Trust me |

11.17.12 | "filestube, rapidshare, 4shared, rapidgator, blogspots, piratebay, isohunt"
I feel like whenever I try to find something on these sites, they just link me back to a dead mediafire upload and then I'm SOL |
foxblood
11.17.12 | i still find almost anything that i need, just gotta know how to use the webz right. the worst part is finding music that isn't in shit quality. if i really like it and can't find it in flac or 320kbps i buy it |
Funeralopolis
11.17.12 | cant find the new crystal castles and i want it >:( |

This is why I wish all bands would start selling their music exclusively through bandcamp. It's usually just $5-$10 an album, in pretty much any format you could possibly want, and you get to feel good for directly supporting the band instead of some greedy record label (not that all record labels are greedy, of course)! |
wacknizzle
11.17.12 | Yeah mediafire has been lame as fuck. Every time I need it for the files I uploaded it isn't even functioning. I still got Harlots - Betrayer and This Is The Second Death if anyone wants em, all the other links are down. Some really good experimental metalcore/post-metal if anyone wants it. |
auberginedreams
11.17.12 | you can still find anything you want, you just have to spend a little bit longer searching for it. |

11.17.12 | I've noticed alot of stuff I could find before but now I can't in general with zip file sites, they going crazy with taking shit down lately. I have alot of good albums on my computer that I should upload so people can find it. |

cb123
11.17.12 | yeah for the most part stuff is still out there....occasionally have to go down to pages in the 30's on google to find a working link sometimes.....but its out there still |
auberginedreams
11.17.12 | "yeah for the most part stuff is still out there....occasionally have to go down to pages in the 30's on google to find a working link sometimes.....but its out there still"
truth. |
wacknizzle
11.17.12 | Yeah if the album is well known |
Ignimbrite
11.17.12 | A bunch of other sites make it pretty easy to find music even after Mediafire "died," but they aren't as fast and they make you do the stupid wait time thing. I mean, in the long run it doesn't matter but in the moment it's annoying as shit.
Zippyshare is pretty awesome though, even if it hasn't grown to the prevalence of Mediafire yet. It's the same speed and it has no wait times. Also, private trackers ftw |
Aids
11.17.12 | they got scurred cause the megaupload owner got fucked in the ass |
wacknizzle
11.17.12 | yup |
auberginedreams
11.17.12 | "Yeah if the album is well known"
nope, i still find random obscure shit too. you just have to go past the first 3 search results. |
demigod!
11.17.12 | yeah pretty much that Aids,. all us filthy pirates got fucked in the ass when Megaupload did. |
Curse.
11.17.12 | Yeah, Zippyshare is where it is at |
wacknizzle
11.17.12 | I agree Aubergine but a few albums I recently looked for to give to other people are for sure down but they are pretty unknown. |
CarlSagan
11.17.12 | I use filestube every once in a while when blogspot isnt working but sometimes you get some really sketchy links |
wacknizzle
11.17.12 | Filestube is full of sketchy links but when you find what you're looking for it's great. For new albums though newalbumreleases.net is thee best. |
4N4LB34D5
11.17.12 | Damn I never thought anyone would see through my names clever disguise of numbers taking the place of actual letters. My hat goes off to you, Sirob.... Or should I say.... Boris!? |
Aids
11.17.12 | you can still find things on mediafire, it's just harder now. It isn't the go-to, failsafe filesharing site it once was. Most of the time I use Rapidgator or Depositfiles. but just type anything into filestube.com and if it exists in the filesharing universe, you'll find it there. |
Aids
11.17.12 | "filestube, rapidshare, 4shared, rapidgator, blogspots, piratebay, isohunt"
well yeah but, k. are you guys this bad at interneting? i'll explain this to you:
-filestube.com is a website that searches for your desired files on filesharing sites such as rapidgator, mediafire, rapidshare, 4shared, zippyshare, etc.
-a blogspot is the same thing essentially: it's just a blog that directs you to a filesharing site, or mirrors a link
-isohunt.com is a torrent searching website, like filestube, but only for torrents (which you need a separate program to download and manage). thepiratebay is one of the torrent hosts that it links to.
it's lame that finding things isn't as easy as "google.com ==> BAND ALBUM MEDIAFIRE" ==> boom, but everything is still easy to find if you know what you're doing and are ok to resort to torrents if need be. |
demigod!
11.17.12 | again, i just use /rs/. very reliable. and if i don't find it there I usually find it on pirate bay. |
HitlerIsPissed
11.17.12 | i can still find pretty much anything, but it takes more time than it used to. ive only ever not been able to find something for free three or four times (and ive been downloading for like 5 years), and those times were all after the whole megaupload thing. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | Aids, sometimes you can dig deeper to find zips or rars through trying each and every one of those sites if you can't find it on one. I've had it happen to me multiple times. Not bad at "interneting" just trying to give him some advice.
Another tip is to do a search at first for the zip, then the rar if that doesn't work. If you still can't find anything look for discogs by just typing in the artist's name + torrent/zip or whatever and discog -> download anything you can find. If it still doesn't work just try putting in only the album itself + rar/zip. For some reason that works instead of both sometimes. |
HitlerIsPissed
11.17.12 | i challenge someone to find The Wrens - Silver because i could not find that for the fuck of me. |
ILJ
11.17.12 | "again, i just use /rs/. very reliable."
I try using /rs/ all the time and it rarely ever works. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | Hitler, I found it like multiple times while searching for Secaucus. Try finding THAT one, man. Took me like 2 straight hours with three people.. no joke. |
HitlerIsPissed
11.17.12 | Secaucus was a bitch but i found that one. but did you actually try downloading Silver? because none of the links work, the files have been taken down. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | How long ago did you find it? Cause when I tried about a month or two ago I had to download from this super fishy torrent site through a FLAC on like the 14th page of google. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | I remember finding one link that worked, but not downloading because I wanted to hear Secaucus first. I should have gotten it just in case lol. Would have uploaded it right now for you.
Sorry : / |
4N4LB34D5
11.17.12 | The worst is when you spend forever looking for a particular album, you FINALLY find it in the form of a rar, and then you can't even extract it because it asks for some bullshit password that's impossible to get. Turrible just turrible |
HitlerIsPissed
11.17.12 | i downloaded it really early in the month. and i think i downloaded the FLAC files of Secaucus from that torrent too. i ended up just buying Silver from iTunes though. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | LOL I swear some people probably do that on purpose just be assholes.
It's even worse when you find it, then start extracting and like 4/13 songs break and you have half of a sick album that you want to finish.. but can't. |
Ethics
11.17.12 | this is sad...

wacknizzle
11.17.12 | I like listening to whole albums on record or on cd or if I'm in the mood I make a mix to play in the car. I guess I scrobble on spotify and itunes whatever the fuck that scrobbling means anyway. When I'm on spotify I look for songs to listen to and add em to my que I donno if that's the same thing. |
MoosechriS
11.17.12 | I pretty much use discogs and ebay to buy all of my music, i usually just rip tape and vinyl myself but if i can find a link through a blog or something to save myself time i'll use that. I only really download stuff that i can't physically buy like old demos and stuff like that. But then if they become available through ebay or discogs i usually buy them |
TomArnoldsArmpit
11.17.12 | I just exist |
Arked
11.17.12 | Yeah, golden age of mediafire is over. But now when I find working download link on mediafire it's like Christmas and this is awesome.
Of course finding links is not a real problem but sites like rapidgator etc. are slow and annoying. Mediafire is fast and allow multiple download at the same time. |

11.17.12 | I've only not been able to download 1 or 2 albums. Google- "Band Name: rar" go... Filestube filters them and God Forbid! Sometimes you have to look past the first page. If filestube fails there are other outlets.
