Interesting Post On Weymolith's FB Page This Morning

[TheGreatPretender]

Typically, the "6:00 on a Christmas Morning" gifts from DT, in the past, have all been free downloads, a treat for the fans. I don't recall the past ones, but this has been a long-running tradition, IIRC.

I didn't realize this was a thing. When was the last time they did this? And what have I been missing out on?

Not sure how long it has been going on, but back in 2009, Mike Portnoy (who I believe did all the gifts up til then) released a video from the Progressive Nation tour entitled "Percussive Nation", a jam he did with the other drummers on the PN tour.

Well, that's not nearly as good as what's pretty much the equivalent of a whole live album. Still, it's pretty cool. Is it still obtainable anywhere?

[DebraKadabra]

Not sure if it was ever allowed to be posted to YT, to be completely honest.

I should keep my trap shut about anything else related to this year's gift.

You mean like "wait but there's more"? Or Moore?

Was Kevin Moore one of the 50 trusted people that are going to host the bittorrent?!

[Rodni Demental]

Very excited about this. Being someone who obsessively collects live material, an official release like this is brilliant, not to mention it's really awesome to now have the entire tour documented and hearing the new formed DT playing these songs will be interesting.

[Weymolith]

Also, for being a wide-spread BitTorrent download, I doubt they could keep track of it to charge money for it. It sounds like it will be completely free of charge. The only issues will be the lag the start where there will undoubtedly be thousands and thousands of leechers and only 50 seeders. After a few hours, though, provided the initial chunk of leechers have decent high-speed connections and leave their seeds running for most of the day (if not ALL day...c'mon, it'll be Christmas), the download rates for the torrent should speed up.

-Marc.

The initial GDT members who will be seeding agreed to seed until January 1st. It will also be on one members seedbox, so high speeds will not be an issue.

[Nihil-Morari]

Great stuff everyone. Thanks for making it happen Wey, this is an awesome christmas present. A tiny tad better than Oh Holy Night with Charlie Dominici, haha.

Great to hear! I'm happy that it won't be an issue getting this out to fans across the globe who are eager to hear it!

Since I can't really find it in the thread or maybe I just missed it;

how can you download this again?

You can start by waiting until Christmas morning when it's made available!

[jakepriest]

It's Christmas afternoon here... I don't know jack about American time zones. 

[BlobVanDam]

It's Christmas afternoon here... I don't know jack about American time zones. 

Oh right! It's another 23 hours or so, I think?

[Weymolith]

It will be available in 23 hours and 12 minutes from the time of this post.

[jakepriest]

Thanks! 

[Viking of the Sagas]

...Interesting.

[Dellers]

Of course. Christmas morning in America is actually the day after Christmas 

[BlobVanDam]

The world disagrees.


But your part of the world is awesome, and it would mean getting the Christmas present a day earlier, so I'm not sure whose side I'm on here.

[jingle.boy]

So it's gonna look awesome at first glance, in spite the fact that within 5 minutes, someone on DTF will be complaining how there's a piece of cut-off image, watermark, lack of shadow, or something else that's wrong with it.

Why blame us for that? Syme is the one who makes those mistakes.

While that may be, I'm certainly not going to complain about the cover on a free bonus show that DT didn't need to give us at all.

Should've used STEVETHEATER.

It's more of a pity party.

wut?

23 hours from your post  at 7:23 AM = 6:23 + 12 minutes = 6:35 AM?

So we finally found something Wey CAN'T do.   

[Weymolith]

Hey, math for me is adding the bed, subtracting the clothes, dividing the legs, and praying that I don't multiply!

Also, keep in mind that the time zone the message board shows as Posted At : may not be the time zone that I'm in.

But the system adjusts for the users timezone anyway.   So it shows 7:23 for me when you posted it, which may be 6:23 for you if you were in EST which means it would have been closer to 23 hours and 37 minutes till torrent goes public, etc etc.

Yes I have, but not always.       Nothing says masculinity like deflowering a girl's poop shot. 

[Weymolith]

Notice I said "women" you said "girl"

Sometimes I capriciously lump them into the same category.

FTFY

Just a suggestion: I don't recommend the word "lump" when talking about sodomy. It gives the reader the wrong visual.
