Sorry folks, but after posting our info to a few lists and due to us "using so much network resources" (apparently from lots of people downloading the free music sets at once) our webhost blocked our site all day yesterday. Apologies if you tried to visit it and were denied. Sure, sell us a website with 400gigs of transfer per month, then take it down when it's actually getting used, nice. Always read the fine print, kids! Anyway, we had to pull a bunch of the sets that were getting linked to from elsewhere to ease the load on the server for a bit, but the site is back up and running. Feel free to poke around and get some info on Saturday's TWO special guests, both of whom are doing LIVE PA's. It's gonna be a really fun show! Saturday night @ Rx Gallery in San Francisco [KONTROL] presents ORAC Records Caro + [a]pendics.shuffle - both performing LIVE. http://www.kontrolsf.com/ peace, ------> G

Aren't there any free torrent trackers that could be used to distribute sets like this? The technology would be perfect when the demand peaks like in this case here. 2005/10/13, Greg Bird <bird415@gmail.com>:
