ANNOUNCE FLAC: Pittrek Best Of The Best Queenconcerts

Thanks for bumping this one.

I'm rebuilding this torrent at the moment.
I can share it, I guess in an hour or something.

Greetings Bokkepoot

Wow! Amazing job Marco! thank you so much for your hard effort ;D

 I'm still in the process of doing artwork for all of these releases, one day I'll finish lol

I am absolutely amazed, that my little baby is still alive :-) Maybe it's time to update it a bit, since new amazing sources appeared during the last years, what do you think ?

Thanks for the extra seeds guys, %0.6 away from completion :-)

And yes Pittrek, that might be an idea indeed!

We have to take care with this beautiful little baby.
Beside of the fun of (re)sharing it's nice to see that there is still some interest in this share.
Maybe an update in the form of a kind of appendix will be great :)

many thanksssssss[img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
pittrek is a genius

PLEASE seed this torrent. Thanks !

THANKS , THANKS!! :D

I'm trying to download this torrent but the availability is only 0.367. We could do with some more seeders, 4 are reported but I don't have a connection to any of them (no idea why).
EDIT: also the links to the original articles for each year (in the first post) all give Page Not Found so I can't find the original individual concert downloads.

The forum has been through various "upgrades" over the past few years, and some of the links just don't work anymore, even though the threads themselves may still be there with a different url.

You can find the links in the second last post in page 1 of this thread:

Can someone seed this please. I'm on 94.5% (taken two months to get to this stage) and the seeds have dropped to only 1 which is giving about 1kB/s for the small amount of time I can connect to it. At this rate it's going to take 6 months to get the last 1.76MB.

The irony is for the last 3 weeks between 2 and 4 peers have been connected to me and I've been uploading to them like crazy. My share ratio is well above 1.0 despite not having the entire torrent. So clearly people want this. If only I could get the last 5.5% I can act as a seed.

Although you're keeping your ratio in check, it's not a requirement. Most people eat and run here.

Hopefully you get to finish soon though !

I regard eat and run on torrents as very poor practice. If at all possible everyone should hang around until their share ratio is at least 1.00 ie. you've uploaded as much as you have downloaded. I try to do better since I have unlimited data with no traffic shaping and a server that runs 24/7 so it doesn't cost me anything except whatever else I could be doing with the bandwidth. And with 3.5mbps down and 1mbps up there's only so much bandwidth to go around.

Since I don't have any interesting bootlegs to contribute, think of it as my contribution to the community.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a seed in days on this torrent, I've downloaded 0.01GB in the last two weeks. Meanwhile there are 6 peers uploading from me and my share ratio is above 2.0.

I think I'm going to have to go back to the original downloads and try to reconstruct what is missing. I do at least have lots of complete concerts, one of the early peers got me up to 35% by having just certain concerts and I decided that was a good idea and set download priorities on the torrent files to get whole concerts. I probably need to download about a quarter of it to fill in the gaps. It is unfortunate that original torrent creator changed some of the directory names in the name of consistency, I now have to attempt to replicate that otherwise all this data I've uploaded to the peers will have been a complete waste of time (if they can't complete the torrent from my infill).

Is this torrent still good, or worth the time? Or should i just go and download links from the original threads?
