Test4Eco23 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I am sure this has been asked many times in the past. What is the best site for downloading boot videos, and audio concerts. I am looking for quality and selection. I was just made aware that Limewire will download torrent files. I tried other torrent programs and none of them have worked so far. My nephew is using Limewire to do it. Any info would be great. Sorry for posting something that has been already asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download some "non-torrent" bootlegs via sites like rapidshare and megaupload and uncompress them with a free program like 7zip. The link I posted above has alot of Rush lossless boots, not to mention Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, MP3 files are compressed and you lose sound quality from the original source. With a lossless file you get the best/original quality. Examples of lossless files are FLAC or SHN or WAV.

The only difference between FLAC and SHN vs. WAV would be that FLAC and SHN both compress the file to smaller file sizes, hence it does not take as much time to download, while still maintaining the highest quality -- the quality of WAV. WAV is also "lossless", but it does not compress the file like SHN or FLAC. So if you download a boot in SHN or FLAC format that is in total 700MB, in WAV, it would probably be a little over 1.0GB.

Another good place is http://trickydick.us which has a whole boot download section with megaupload links... a great reason to join - you can build up your collection right off the bat here, and not kill your share ratio. and http://www.thetradersden.org has a good bit of Rush torrent activity. It's always good to have several options / places to download. Edited September 25, 2008 by rushbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that Bigger and Better show at the Houston Summit and it is really good but anybody who lists the best Rush bootlegs and omits the St. Louis Remastered show should be criminally prosecuted.

Test4Eco23 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well Limewire sucks for opening torrents. I can't figure this out to save my ass. Maybe one of you nice people will feel sorry for me and just send me the boots LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbass Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If you are trying to download a torrent, you need a torrent client... uTorrent is the best, and is freeware... download uTorrent here: http://www.utorrent.com/ You will also need another freeware program to convert the SHN and FLAC files to WAV, so you can listen to them / burn them to CD... get it here: http://tlh.easytree.org/ Hope this helps.

Yes, you will be able to download video files with uTorrent... of course, you will need some kind of DVD burning software (i.e. - Nero, etc.) to burn them to disc.
