02.06.12 | I get various albums per day and I have yet to find one album I can not download anywhere. |

02.06.12 | mediafire isnt a free music site |
DinoX
02.06.12 | true |

02.06.12 | "Searching "band name, album name, rar" will usually lead you to dead files, try dropping the band name if at first you don't succeed and you will probably find what you are looking for."
i did everything on this list except for this. ill keep that in mind next time. |
SCREAM!
02.06.12 | this isn't torrenting... |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @Aus: I didn't make this list to be a dick to you haha. I just did it because a lot of people seem to be having trouble lately. |
Beachcoma
02.06.12 | Wow, well everytime I try and download files off of filestube, it makes me sign up for the site itself. Am I doing something wrong? |
Auschwitz
02.06.12 | lol i know. i felt pretty fucking retarded though, i searched for like an hour and the one thing i didnt try was so damn simple. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | It has never asked me once to sign up to anything. I don't really know what you are doing, there is a search bar at the top you type in what you want and you click on the links, just like you would with google. |
Trebor.
02.06.12 | why would you want rar over zip? |
DinoX
02.06.12 | I have no idea, I always see people around here only ever mentioned rar. Zip files always come more organized and in folders. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @Beach: most file sharing sites want you to become a member, they generally use tactics to confuse people going on the site. They make it seem like you have to pay or become a member but nearly all sites that host music do NOT require a membership or payment you just have to look closer for the right place to click. |

02.06.12 | mediafire isn't a torrent site you fucking idiot |
DinoX
02.06.12 | wtf is a torrent then? I always thought torrent= file sharing |
ShadowRemains
02.06.12 | fucking lol |
Trebor.
02.06.12 | torrent is like seeding and leaching like piratebay
mediafire is just like one person puts up an album, and then everybody can get a copy of it I guess |
DinoX
02.06.12 | I have accommodated the pugnacious one. |
tkxxx7
02.06.12 | pretty sure I know how Google works but thanks anyway
filestube is great for ebooks though |
silentstar
02.06.12 | This guy knows what he's saying; just to reiterate, filestube is your best bet, it can lead you to obscure mediafire links that still work. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @txxx7: most people don't know about being able to get books for free as well but ya it is useful, I do a lot of reading from files. Unfortunately text books even if available in e-book never seem to be online. |
Ire
02.06.12 | "wtf is a torrent then?"
whoa |
Haz
02.06.12 | My methods of hunting hard to find music online go like this -
what.cd
waffles.fm
bloghunting (google blogsearch, or, just google as sometimes blogs aren't properly indexed)
soulseek
browse public torrent sites
emule
beg for links from people who have rated those albums on last.fm and RYM
buy the damn thing for extortionate price on ebay
usually, the first 3 cover me. however, soulseek and emule are definitely a reliable last resort for uncovering stuff I never expected to find. when most people say they refuse to use torrents, i'm guessing it's largely because they've only dealt with sites like the pirate bay before. still, it's all just tools for getting what you want with minimal effort being loyal to one or the other seems silly to me |
tkxxx7
02.06.12 | 25 bits? That's not even enough for a filename. |
tkxxx7
02.06.12 | the pirate bay is actually really useful if you have adblock enabled |
DinoX
02.06.12 | I have never actually used pirate bay before |
Haz
02.06.12 | "Unfortunately text books even if available in e-book never seem to be online."
this is where specialist private torrent sites like bitme.org and textbooktorrents come in.
http://librarypirate.me/
also found this after a cursory google search. this is also popular - http://avaxhome.ws/ |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @system: get adblock? you'll never have to see an ad again. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | interesting |
tkxxx7
02.06.12 | there's also loveguests.com, lots of textbooks there |
Vespiion
02.06.12 | List needs a feature |
Auschwitz
02.06.12 | @system idk what the fuck youre doing but i never have any issues like that. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @system: not sure if trolling or needs to l2internet.... |
tkxxx7
02.06.12 | He thinks a torrent file can fit into 25 ones and zeroes. |
Haz
02.06.12 | I suggest everyone at least tries what.cd and/or waffles before they completely write off torrents as a useless way of seeking music. if anyone is seeking invites there is a thread here on our forum, you never know someone might throw you a bone - http://sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=556363 |

02.06.12 | Okay thanks dino and system it works now |

02.06.12 | It's also not like filestube is the only search engine designed for p2p downloads as well..... |

02.06.12 | "why would you want rar over zip?"
iirc rar compresses slightly better, but when you're talking 85 MB vs. 90 MB it's not like it matters. |
Acanthus
02.06.12 | People honestly search by "rar" or "zip" still? |
theashesfromautumn01
02.06.12 | i thank you for the self titled explanation. always have trouble with those |
Acanthus
02.06.12 | weird, I just search for 320 or FLAC - hardly ever have an issue with strange formatting. |
patrickfannon
02.06.12 | My problem is not so much finding the files, but not wanting to register for about 50 different websites in order to download them. Any way around that little bugger? Also, why is Demonoid so sparse these days? That site used to to have everything. |
DinoX
02.06.12 | @Patrick: most file sharing sites want you to become a member, they generally use tactics to confuse people going on the site.

02.06.12 | rars are often broken, no idea why anyone would think they're better than zips |
Capablanca
02.06.12 | Yea I don't get torrents either, too many steps and ads. i stick to mediafire and direct links, I've rarely had a problem finding something anyway. |
ChuckyTruant
02.06.12 | Yeah I buy my music too |
Pentagon
02.06.12 | obvious list is obvious |
DinoX
02.06.12 | Not obvious to all though |
Zorak
02.06.12 | torrenting is relatively easy. All you need is vuze and thepiratebay |
patrickfannon
02.06.12 | Thanks, Dino. I know what you mean, but a lot of the time they do a really terrific job of confusing me. |
tkxxx7
02.07.12 | "rars are often broken, no idea why anyone would think they're better than zips"
umm zips break just as often |
Acanthus
02.07.12 | I assume that the guy who dislikes rar's for breaks knows that he can still extract the entire album/track and it might not be "broken" ? |
ChuckyTruant
02.07.12 | zips are easier. for me anyway |
