Like Clive, I have d/led the show from the 28th and am now getting
the show from the 30th. Listening to the 28th as I type and very
enjoyable it is too with Roy on fine form musically and verbally -
stories on topics such as meeting Lemmie and a reviwer who wrote "I
hope he dosn't really believe in the things he sings about!" -
wonderful stuff :-)

The beauty of bittorrent is that the more people there are who are
getting the file at the same time, the faster it is for everyone
since BT also uploads to others at the same time. The whole system
is a shared resource and the complete opposite of
scarcity-consciousness, zero-sum games etc etc.

The reason these d/ls have been slow is because few people have been
getting them. BTW (maybe I was just lucky, Clive) but to encourage
anyone else who wants to try it sometime, I found it very easy to
register with EZT and then get the shows by clicking on the links
given in the earlier message.

I didn't even try to set-up any of the other stuff on EZT - I think
may be required only if you are providing shows for others to get
(i.e. starting off the process or 'seeding' as it is called).

When you click on the link for a show, a small file called a
'torrent file' is d/led to your computer. BitTorrent then uses this
file to access and d/l the actual files that you want. I haven't
used Azureus that Clive mentioned but it has a very good reputation
and AFAIK automates this as much as possible.

Anyway, enough rambling. Just like Clive I too am happy to offer
copies of these shows if that helps (B&P or trade). No wish to
tread on anyone's toes though if Clive is organising a tree and
happy to join in with that too.

BTW - slightly off-topic but does anyone have any Robyn Hitchcock
shows?

Best wishes
