Lately we're really stuffed with torrents of Queenconcerts etc.
But I now have Zoom 79 (Live in Osaka 20-04-79) ready for download.
If you're interested I can send the torrent to Whitemanadmin.
I know some out there are still waiting for other torrents to get re-seeded again so perhaps it's better to wait a few days.

Rien - send it to Whitemanadmin but its probably best to ask him to delay uploading it for a day or two...
there's been so much shared out over the past week - i dont think everyone has had the time to enjoy it all.
some people may have a slower internet speed... and will probably still be downloading. Its best if we "space" these out.
Perhaps other Queenzoner's may have a different view.
But the decision of course, is yours.

I have a feeling that too many torrents will mean that people jump off one torrent to grab another, leaving few seeders for others to finish.
I think about 1 or so a week is a good rate to make sure everyone gets a chance to download the full file.

Yes I agree. We are being flooded with torrents at the moment which isn't a bad thing but people with slower connections are probably doing torrents from a week or 2 ago and not being able to keep up. I for one have gone over my broadband limit this month so my internet connection has been slowed down to dial up speed :(
yes, a pause is needed =). there still 4 torrents that even did not start to download yet
Go on with the show :)))

Send away, and I will upload ti for you. I am readying a new batch as well, but will hold back on mine for a while, I am downloading the ones I dont have as well, and Zoom 79 would be worth downloading.
My ICQ number is 12283117. Best to make initial contact with me there, I am away on holiday from sunday, so best to get it done asap
Whitemanadmin,
I haven't got ICQ installed anymore, so mail me (see profile) about what I have to fill in as URL of the tracker.
The files are from cd (I think originally mp3) and I have used EAC to copy them, then turned them into WAVE and then into FLA, rate 8.

"The files are from cd (I think originally mp3) and I have used EAC to copy them, then turned them into WAVE and then into FLA, rate 8."
This brings up an intersting point. Most bootleg collectors do not like Mp3-sourced bootlegs due to the loss of quality. Basically, you've taken a file that permanently lost info during the compression to Mp3, expanded it to Wav, then compressed it to Flac. This is looked done upon by many collectors and taints the overall pool of recordings.
I know there are probably many Queen fans on here that really don't care either way. Personally, I think that it should be mentioned if you are torrenting something that is mp3-sourced so that downloaders can decide if they want it.

Thanks for the offer, but what we are doing by using FLAC is preserving the quality. Taking an MP3 source, and then converting to WAV will pollute the trade pool.
It needs to be an original audio source (Low gen tape, CDR etc)
Sorry about that
first of all Zeni, THAT's why I did mention it.
So no need to suggest to mention it.
Wouldn't it be great if we thought the same about the videos that go around?
And to Whitemanadmin, well, okay, no Zoom from me then.
But I dare to say that the quality of this recording is better than some bootlegs I've heard.
But no problem.

Perhaps not to you, but how many other potential uploaders had no clue? As far as I can tell, this issue has not come up on QZ since the torrents began. Whitemanadmin torrents several through sharingthegroove which is explicit about these rules of no mp3-sourced boots, but I have yet to see any comments on it from several other potential uploaders.
Thus, the need to suggest it, Rien. No need to get snippy.
ok. You've made it clear.
I fell over the sentence "I think that it should be mentioned if you are torrenting something that is mp3-sourced".

My apologies. I meant you-all, not specifically you, Rien.
What I wonder is this:
How can we check the quality of the tracks, other than perhaps by listening to them?
Can one reveal the true quality?
For torrenting one should make flac-files coming from let's say CDR (as is stated). How do we know that those files on cdr are not encoded from mp3?
btw this is a serious question.
