QUALITY - not quantity.
Actually I was refering to the rarity of the material - rather than the sound source.

What about us? I gave up trying to get torrents to work, but still shared & will share, using rapidshare. I also mess up trying to zip the files. So what I do is pain-stakingly upload the individual tracks. Honestly, I don't mind to do it this way & even better when other Queen Zoners convert them & re-post them as a Torrent for me. I know some people like torrents & don't like rapidshare, but I think as long as other Queen fans can get free downloads, GREAT!!!
What I don't like is the whole EBAY thing!!!!! Sharks!!!!!
Now going back to the whole Sharing drying up & people getting pissed off, with the greedy. That has most likely happened to some extent, but some people who are in full time employment & have a family & home and such, find it a bit difficult to find the time, we try our best. I will find time to upload more in the future, Hopefully I will have got something that someone else hasn't.
Also at Christmas time when there was a flood of stuff to download, people were in the "Christmas is a time for sharing" feeling & most likely had time off work for the holidays & hence, have more time to sit in front of their PC.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed, but I'm sure that sharing will come back.

Oh, I see.
I'd love to get my hands on Queen's first gig at MSG again. I had it in it's entirety and lost it to water damage. I was never able to get another copy from the original source tape because that person no longer does that kind of business and I have no idea whre he is =(. The sound quality was close to excellent. There were quite a few excellent bootleggers in Brooklyn New York many years ago.

I give you a lot of credit for sharing through Rapidshare. I use it occasionally to share smaller files. I just don't have the time and patience to use it.

And I agree with the original poster - the quality stuff has dried up because people finally got fed up with the greed and selfishness on this site.[/QUOTE]
So sad but soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true.... !

Sorry but I'm not aware of his dealings and his demands. I'm only speaking from my personal experience since I became a member and the response from this thread:
http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=630706.
If it's true that he was selling concerts that he downloaded from here, shame on him. But he never did wrong to me so I stick to my words.
You even complimented him for his sharing efforts
in this thread :http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=621824
BTW
"And maybe a bit more politeness and less greed will come out of it."
You hit the nail dead on the head LindaOfThe Valley

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Barry © wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Someone made a post about super-seeders. What this entails is people keeping the downloads on their HD's and helping out when there are no seeds. I myself would be prepared to do that because I have nearly 300gb free space.
I am currently seeding Brian May Big Mama 98 and have so far uploaded that over a dozen times. I am going to leave it on my HD for months.
Anyone prepared to do this with me?
[/QUOTE]
I too kept all my downloads on my HD as well as burned backups. So whenever someone needs a seed I will do it.It's not about being a super seeder,it's about sharing with those who missed out. There are quite a lot of good people who are quick to seed upon request but I noticed that when they make a request all you hear are crickets (figure of speech).

Hear hear. I too keep everything I download on my HD and seed whenever I can. It’s less about being a “super-seed” than about sharing the music, which is what I thought this site was all about... It would be nice if someone would help us out too in times of need!
I rather enjoy seeding torrents that have gone dormant for a while (as well as those that never seem to go away). I have uploaded the Argentina 1981 VCD over nine times and there are always peers looking for this – 12 are downloading as I write this – and I will keep it going as long as the interest is there.
I’m also thinking of “re-announcing” some torrents I downloaded last summer and which don’t seem to have been shared for several months (on the assumption that people may have missed them at the time, or are new to QZ).
