HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM DREAM THEATER (6:00 On A Christmas Morning!)

[Grizz]

I see discussion about the mix. The mix was never this good live Mangini-era. The guitar is probably more prominent live than on LaLP.

[Scorpion]

Tried downloading this, nobody seems to be seeding... 

EDIT: Found an alternative download link, now don't you dare to crap out on me, you internet!

[Sycsa]

I still listen to it regularly and it runs circles around LALP in the sonic department. The loud keys and the drum sound are a bliss and it features the definite live version of Peruvian Skies. 

[Daso]

I just believe the tracklist is really interesting. This version of To Live Forever might be my favorite one; if not, then the second after the one from Live in Tokyo.  Then there's Learning to Live, Through My Words/Fatal Tragedy, Another Day and The Count of Tuscany (I'm a huge fan of the second disc as you can see). It's just phenomenal   

[billybobjoe1881]

I just opened this thread for the first time.  Seeing The Count Of Tuscany made this an instant download.  It's one of my favourite DT Tracks.

[AnotherDimension]

Does anyone have a link to this?

[Grizz]

First page.
I'm seeding, but I don't have the enclosed art, checksums, or info, as the ones on DIME do not match up for some reason. Anyone want to seed those for the thirty seconds for which I need to download?

[AnotherDimension]

I've been trying to download this forever, but nobody is ever seeding it. Can someone please seed?

[TheAtliator]

How do I seed it? I need the .torrent file right? I think I got rid of that. 

[Grizz]

Just grab it on the first page and direct your client to the folder in which you originally downloaded the stuff

[TheAtliator]

  ...... ok yea I still don't know how to do it.


No but really, I think I get what that means, but that gives me the .torrent file, right? Then what do I do?

[AnotherDimension]

Thank you guys for so much for trying to figure out how to seed this. I've been longing to hear this record since Christmas. I was visiting my folks at the time and was without my computer, so I never had a chance to download. Have never seen people seed it since. 

[billybobjoe1881]

Use this link to download the torrent since there are no seeders on here. https://kickass.to/dream-theater-happy-holidays-2013-2cd-320kbps-cbr-mp3-vx-p2pdl-t8484207.html

MPEG Layer 3 is bad.
Anyone else having trouble getting to the tracker?
Atliator, are you trying to download or seed?

[TheAtliator]

Googling "how to seed a torrent" now   

[Grizz]

Seeding is uploading. Did you already download the music?

[TheAtliator]

Yes I did the day it was available. Then that day I let it seed for a while, but now I just don't know how to open it and seed it more. I understand what seeding is, but I just can't figure out how to make the software do it  .

[TheAtliator]

I can't get it to start, it stays on this. I've been downloading multiple things this past week and it's stayed like this on all of them once they were done downloading.



Anyone know how to help? 

[Grizz]

I do believe that means that it's seeding. If someone tries to download it they'll be connected to you.

[TheAtliator]

Oh that's pretty funny if it's been doing it right the whole time

So, that means if I download something, and the general rule is you upload as much as you downloaded.. I have to wait for someone to be there downloading before anything will actually be uploaded?

[Grizz]

Yeah.

[TheAtliator]

So let's say I leave some file in there for a week and no one takes it so I can't upload it.. If I take it out, is it true that bit torrent is going to lower my downloading speed? Last question, promise

[cramx3]

I don't think so.  I think it depends.  Ive downloaded plenty of torrents and haven't uploaded more than 1% of those downloads.  Nothing has slowed me down.  However, on sites like dimeadozen, you need to upload to be able to download which is fine because those are shared files for everyone where as some of the other stuff I have downloaded... well lets just leave it like that.

That's not quite how it works.
uTorrent or whatever you use is like Firefox. Trackers control the distribution of bandwidth and metadata of the torrent and whatnot. Most private trackers (where you have to sign up and whatnot for "premium" content) like DIME have rules on maintaining ratios, or making sure you seed what you download. This is a public tracker and really can't do anything to regulate your use. It's just common courtesy to have a U/D ratio of at least 1.

That's rude. If it wasn't for the uploaders on those torrents you wouldn't be able to download it. Ever been frustrated with a slow torrent? It's because people like you don't seed. Like even if it's copyrighted material, at least have some honor among thieves.

I guess I am rude and that's fine with me (considering the context).  At least I am honest! Also, for stuff like this, I let my computer stay on the whole weekend to seed when it was released. Id also have no problem seeding this again, but I am traveling so I wont be home to do that for awhile.

[Grizz]

Can someone help me? I'm trying to seed this but I'm timing out on both trackers.

[TheAtliator]

The green arrow that points up (yes I got it to be green) keeps turning red.. Does that mean "I'm timing out on both trackers" ?

[AnotherDimension]

I'm trying to download via torrent but getting nothing and seeing no seeders.

[Onno]

I'm trying to seed too, but the trackers are not working. I don't really have enough experience with torrents to be able to know exactly what's wrong, so if someone does know this, please tell us.
EDIT: Ok guys, I sort of found out what the problem was. Torrents need those trackers to be able to connect to each other; I think it's a bit like when large multiplayer games have servers. I don't know which torrent client you guys are using, and I don't know if I can link to this, but if you google 'torrent trackers' you should find a website with a list of all torrent trackers in 2013. Now, in your torrent client, you have to add all these trackers to your tracker list for the torrent. I've done that and there are multiple trackers that are working, so if you guys can add the trackers I should be able to seed for you

[Ben_Jamin]

Oh man. It sucks so much I had this but now I don't since my old laptop took a massive fart. Is there a way to get this again? Is there a torrent available that is seeding?

[Robo4900]

This magnet link should do it:

Code Select Expand

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ca2b4a14bff2780143e5e611b15f580381df2db9&dn=Dream%20Theater%20-%20Happy%20Holidays%202013&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337

It's the same torrent as always, just with all the broken trackers removed, and one tracker that actually does work put in.
If you're a little nervous about clicking a magnet link from some stranger online, you can just paste the tracker into the original torrent:

Code Select Expand

udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337

[Ben_Jamin]

I got it downloaded. Thanks though.
