Should RKO start using BitTorrent for downloads?

If RKO switches to exclusively to BitTorrent downloads I'll install a client, but I won't help share afterwards.

I can't be bothered to install a BitTorrent client. Even if it's the only way to get the tunes.

So many songs i somehow have missed or lost and looked for.. WOHO!
I wonder how we can get those other 300 in the right directories..
Too bad my memory is as bad as my french.
I guess you've already tried to check id3 and properties for the files?

I dont want to stir any trouble. But I've been collecting from RKO since before there was a cleanup of the SID+Drum stuff....far inferior stuff than what is available now. I wonder if anyone would be interested in those for historical purposes if anything else.

Great stuff, Misser.

As some of you know I've toyed with the idea myself a couple of times, but never got around to following it all the way through due to the usual
not-enough-hours-in-a-day reason, so this is most welcome and gets the official RKO Stamp-of-Approval(tm).

A huge round of applause to you (and everyone who joins in on the seeding)

I've been quite busy since I've gotten back home with bunch of house stuff to take care of.

Anyways. I would like to join and help seeding. Do I just use the link provided in this Thread?

Analog-X, just download the torrents from http://tracker.slayradio.org/index.php?category=RKO and start downloading, you start sharing the moment you download. After you get one complete you become a seeder.

I'm kinda sorry to not make it one whole dir, but that would be to big and to hard to update. So i went for the uploaded/added to RKO date thing, and that worked out nice imho.


@Jan, Yeah the RKO thing was something i tried to fix but could not. (must mail Slagge after a week if nothing changed) Nice to read you like the initiative and I hope I find the time to do those updates to the torrents.

It will be interesting to see if I'm missing anything, I think I have a complete set, already Just want to help out the scene and share.

What is the folder name/structure? So I can set everything up before I start the torrent. Currently my entire collection is in a single file folder.
