Broken Links Fixed

I'm happy to announce that all the download links should be working again. Recently, there was a rash of the Imagenetz links that died. That company promises the links never die, but in fact it's obvious that they die after maybe a month of no downloads (or maybe even less). I'm pretty sure that's what's happening, because the ones that die tend to be of less famous artists, and the really famous ones like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones never die. I've just finished replacing over 150 dead Imagenetz links with Upload.ee links. Upload links recently have had some annoying spam issues, but at least they genuinely never die, as far as I can tell.

In case you're curious, I now have about 800 remaining Imagenetz links and 1450 Upload.ee links for a total of 2250 links. I assume the Imagenetz links will continue to die off, but I hope at a slower pace as the rarely downloaded albums get eliminated. Unfortunately, Upload.ee only allows files up to 200 MB (which equals about an hour and a half of mp3s), so I'll continue to use Upload.ee for large albums, at least until something better comes along. To be honest, both of these have their problems, with the recent spam trouble for Upload.ee and the dying links of Imagenetz, so I remain open to better options, if you have any.
