Title: DT Headbangers Ball
Post by: Nietzsche on December 30, 2009, 02:33:58 AM
I once had a VHS tape with a recording of DT being on the Headbangers Ball for the entire show back in early 1995, but I seem to have lost that tape. Does anyone know if it available somewhere on the internet? I can't find it, not even on youtube.
I would be VERY grateful for any succcesful help.
Thank you.

I know it's around somewhere on the net, because I have a copy of it, but it's unfortunately far too big for me to download on my internet. I wish I could remember where I got it from  :-\

I used to have an ancient Headerbanger's Ball recording too, but that was European HB, with Vanessa Warwick back in the day. She interviewed them after the Ronnie Scott's gig, right after Awake had come out.

I need to dig through the collection as it's still unsorted from the move, but I know I have this as a VCD and possibly a DVD.

Put it in a vine!
 
And water it better than the last one.

I take it a vine died here?

I found the VCD, easiest thing to do would be to have one person grab it off my FTP and then let them do whatever with it.

Apparently it got lost in the mail, and the momentum quickly died after that.  :lol

I know, but you kinda asked about what happened to the last vine, so I thought I'd share the story.  :biggrin: Besides, I think its the post office's fault. ;)

Ah! Okay.

Post by: Weymolith on January 03, 2010, 07:55:01 AM
I've uploaded it to my server. If you can download it (familiar with FTP, RAR, and VCD content, as well as not limited by ISP bandwidth restrictions, then drop me a PM)

What about a private torrent?

I put it up on my server for someone to download and take the reigns on getting it out to others. If you want to grab it and do a private torrent, then PM me and I'll send you the FTP details. I do not have the time or bandwidth available to run a torrent tracker.

I'd be willing to help distribute it, but I don't really want to host a torrent because my upload speed sucks. If anyone has any other ideas, I'll gladly do what I can. If not, I can try torrenting it.

I'll send you an email to the address you used to register here shortly with the details Z.

Hey, I did send that last one out.  But we can try it again.  I'll check and see if I still have addresses.

I've got the files all set, but now I'm having trouble with the torrent. I have done torrents before, but only through trackers. Does anyone know how to get a torrent to work without a tracker?
Title: Re: DT Headbangers Ball
Post by: Nietzsche on January 06, 2010, 12:46:36 PM
Thank you all for helping out! Please write as soon as anything is set. I only know about torrents, so I hope that works out. I'll keep an eye on this post  :)

If it is ok with everyone, I'm going to upload this to bt.etree.org... I looked up the steps on using my own tracker/web server but it seems like a lot of work and it'd probably be easier for everyone to use an already established tracker.

If that is cool with everyone, I'll start torrenting it tomorrow.

ZBomber, will you add some kind of link? Sorry, maybe a stupid question...But I don't really know much about what you guys are talking about :)
Title: Re: DT Headbangers Ball
Post by: ZBomber on January 08, 2010, 06:26:24 AM
Alright, I'm working on the torrent now... but I have a question. Is this legal to share? It appears that a lot of this was released on the ACOS EP (Funeral For A Friend/Perfect Strangers). Bittorrent websites are usually very strict when it comes to sharing things that are officially released. Now, it is a video, and only the audio has been released, so maybe its a different scenario, but I wanna just double check with the people in charge here first. Bosk? Weymolith?

I'm waiting for the go ahead to share the files, but I think some of it was released officially on the A Change of Seasons EP, so, we'll see. Sadly, it might not be shareable because of that.

If Wey gave it to you, it's shareable.

I'm not gonna have enough time to torrent all the files because I am going back to college tomorrow morning and torrents are banned on my campus. So, what I'll do is upload the files in parts onto a website tonight (like megaupload, rapidshare, etc). The files can be quickly downloaded by using a program like JDownloader (which allows you to just copy/paste the links and it does all the captcha recognition, download waits, etc for you). If anyone wants to torrent it, feel free. I was planning to torrent it, but I had to make sure that I could actually share these files, and now I have less than 24 hours to seed, so it will probably be easier to do it this way...

The files will probably be separated into 8 parts. I'll post in this thread when all the files are uploaded and ready. :)
Title: Re: DT Headbangers Ball
Post by: ZBomber on January 17, 2010, 06:25:04 PM
Good news... megaupload allows up to 1gig in file size.

https://www.megaupload.com/?d=F60S0GJ0

One file, extract using winrar. Enjoy, and thanks to wey for sharing the files :)

Feel free to set up a torrent, although I dont think this file would be allowed on most trackers so you would probably have to create your own tracker. Maybe the people at ToT could help?
