Where were you the day Audiogalaxy was shot?

Cylob · 9th December 2003, 10:55

I was at work, I browsed the site as usual to find everything was copyrighted.

It ranks as one of the saddest days of my life.

Later that day I was using Kazaa, what a complete load of bollox.

orac · 9th December 2003, 11:25

I was up mount everest... I heard this eeery sound, the clouds were black.. and I knew Audiogalaxy had gone....

Cylob · 9th December 2003, 11:46

LOL!!!

If I was up Mount Everest I'd have thrown myself off. It was difficult enough walking home over the longbridge (without spontaneously plunging into the river).

zootm · 9th December 2003, 13:24

i was in my room, lamenting my lack of internet connection.

orac · 9th December 2003, 14:48

then i spent several days trying to remove the spyware that Audiogalaxy had installed...

Cylob · 9th December 2003, 14:54

I kept the spyware as a fond momento. *sigh*

Raas · 10th December 2003, 04:57

Audiogalaxy had spyware?

Cylob · 10th December 2003, 07:53

Yes. Exactly which animal sites did you visit last year??

orac · 10th December 2003, 08:04

most p2p software will use spyware... how do you think they fund it.. from the goodness of there hearts... ;-)

Cylob · 10th December 2003, 08:10

SoulSeek's different.

Not a whiff of spyware at all. Adaware has decreed so....

Raz · 10th December 2003, 13:18

Yet it does remain a bloody pain to get a single album downloaded if that's all you're after at the moment.

Cylob · 10th December 2003, 14:42

Maybe god doesn't want you to have said album? Could it be destiny?? Nope - just sod's law.

Soulseek's been good to me this week. I haven't got everything on the list, but enough to satisfy my materialistic greed.

Raas · 10th December 2003, 15:38

Kazaa lite++ duh!

Cylob · 10th December 2003, 19:43

Kazaa lite's a toy.

LollipopLustKil · 10th December 2003, 22:22

DC++ is the best.

Raas · 11th December 2003, 00:01

I can get almost everything I want using kazaa lite.
Maybe you're one of those who get scratchy mp3 files and are mad because of it?

djmastermind · 11th December 2003, 00:26

SoulSeek does the job for me. Everytime that I want something, I just pop it open and find what I need.

But Audioglaxy.. I had just gotten home from school and got on and found the site screwed.. I panicked, man.

ozloi · 11th December 2003, 00:35

audiogalaxy went down? theres still mp3.com...though i heard the RIAA bought it so you might want to avoid that...I used to use K++ but its getting harder and herder to find decent stuff on it. DC++ all the way...

EDIT: MP3.com is down and will soon go legit...

corkhead0 · 11th December 2003, 01:06

mp3.com always was legit. All the tunes on it were there because the bands wanted them there.

marvinbarcelona · 11th December 2003, 08:24

edonkey network...cannot recommend it highly enough.

Cylob · 11th December 2003, 11:16

I respect your judgement marvin, but I can't get on with emule/donkey... Perhaps it didn't like my face. I received about 0.3kb of stuff in a whole afternoon (about 30 .tmp files) - that's not gonna satisfy my needs.

it was? i thought it was kinda like a warez site...illegal but unpunished...

apola_anamisha · 13th December 2003, 14:22

Now, can anyone tell me what is Audiogalaxi?

Triton4 · 13th December 2003, 15:14

BAH!

WinMX rules

Geoneil · 14th December 2003, 01:04

Shareaza, man

You know it makes sense!

http://www.shareaza.com

Gnutella 1&2 eDonkey and BitTorrent, completely sh!teware free!

(until all the mugs on there configure it to strangle their upload bandwidth, whereupon those who aren't like that sort, me for instance, get leeched on bigtime

)

laz · 14th December 2003, 01:20

Triton4, now there is someone I can agree with.
And also Bittorrent is good to me. I have got a lot of awsome live shows from it.

In the very beginning, I believe it was. But for a very long while, tt was a way for independent bands to get their stuff online and heard. CNet was the one who came along and crushed it.
