Download Links Update: All Links Working!

Good news! It was a big pain in the rear, but after several days of uploading zip files nearly every waking hour, I have all the download links working again. As I mentioned previously, about 350 Imagenetz links died for no apparent reason, so I had to replace them with Upload.ee links.

Although it was a hassle for me, this was actually a good thing in the long run, I think. I had to go through all my download zip files to figure out which ones were missing. As part of that process, I was able to figure out some cases were I had pointed to the wrong link, and I made sure that every album had a valid link. So this is probably the first time ever when I can say that 99 plus percent of the links should be correct and working. Before, when I was using ZippyShare, it was a constant game of whack-a-mole, with links dying due to inactivity or for no apparent reason at all. And in the month of two since then, all those Imagenetz links died. But I've been keeping an eye on the total number of Imagenetz links for the last week, and that has stayed stable. So, knock on wood, if that continues, all these links should last. 

In case you're curious, I now have about 850 Upload.ee links, 1050 Imagenetz links, and about 250 Mega links, for a total of about 2100 links. Next, I plan to replace the remaining Mega links with Upload.ee ones, because I still don't trust Mega with their harsh copyright violation policies. But I don't have to rush to do that, now that all the links are working.

Thanks again for your patience through this long process. Let's hope it's all over, with no more unpleasant surprises. By the way, now is a great time to go digging back through all the past albums I've posted, since all the music should actually be available for download.

  3. Terrific site - the Al Stewart early BBC recordings are still in zippy format so unaccessable which is a shame as im a fan & would love to hear the early recordings of songs i grew up with - also noted you posted some duplicatedsongs at a later date which again cant be accessed - keep up the fantastic work - Regards
