Hi, I'm asking people here because I'd like to download this great live tracks somewhere.  I tried with the official link from 2013 but there is no activity with utorrent.  So if someone knows where I could find it I would be really grateful. 

***If I could find those tracks in mp3's 320kpbs (from FLAC to WAV to 320 kpbs) it would also be great.

Thank you very much!

It's on YouTube, but I don't know how  high is the quality compared to the original release

I don't think anyone is going to convert it to MP3 for you, or at least they shouldn't.

Someone could just send him the flac files and he could convert them as he pleases. That's allowed, right? Being a free worldwide release and everything.

I have no problem giving him access to FLAC files, but I won't convert them to MP3.

Yeah, sharing them should be fine, but only in lossless format.  They should NOT be downconverted and shared that way.

That's basically what I said, but without the authoritativeness of Administrator.   :lol

Which is why I jumped in to authoritatively second what you basically said.  :biggrin:

It's on Dime but there don't appear to be any seeders.

If I get home before anyone else does it, I'll upload the files to my Google Drive and let him download it from me.

Why the strong opposition to sharing as MP3?

Because this is a product the band released.  Although they authorized it to be shared and distributed for free, it is intended to be shared at the same level of quality as it was released.

Because it sucks harder than Sasha Grey on a bender.

In case you aren't having any luck with the Dime version.

Also, about MP3 conversion; you can convert it to whatever format you like, as long as you only share the FLAC version.
(And BTW, if you need to do a lossy conversion, use OGG. Never use MP3 - the compression is inefficient, the sound is awful, it adds random amounts of silence to the beginning of tracks(Which ruins lead-ins), it's poorly defined, and software developers have to pay to use it in commercial programs)

Maybe I'm confusing this with something released by another band, but didn't the original torrent have the album in both FLAC and MP3 format? I thought it did, but I guess I'm wrong.

Not that I recall.

I'm also interested in getting this release. I only listen to music in FLAC format nowadays anyway!

WOW guys thank you all so much for all the inputs!!!  I'll try the onedrive link first!!  Maybe I'll PM some of you if I have some problem with it.

And........about converting it to mp3's 320: I asked because right now I don't have the FLAC converter.  I used to like the FLAC format a lot. 

I also tried to download the FLAC converter directly from FLAC.com but it didn't work.

Well anyway.......thank you all very much :)

There were never any MP3s in the original distribution. You can take my word for it.
