how many songs did you get from AudioGalaxy?

[rbhawcroft]

I kept over 500, including a lot of albums, cheers RIAA! - kiss my ass more like.

 

[murphy55d]

It WAS my primary source of mp3's for quite some time. I've since deleted all my songs and started a new collection from scratch of just stuff I actually listen to.

 

[Alienwho]

You know i used audiogalaxy for a while. I've used direct connect for quite some time now but never used it for mp3s. well you know what i discovered lately, go into a music/mp3 hub in direct connect and it is heaven.

Direct Connect is now the ONLY file sharing program i use, period.

 

[rbhawcroft]

ill try that, the thing i liked about ag was the web pages listed the popularity of songs, and the amount of availablity and the linked artists pages.

AG was kick ass. I probably got about 500, my friend on 56k used to use the satellite like a server, he would download from his machine to mine and bring over a cdr every now and again and fill it up. He probably d/led somewhere around 2,000 on my comp.

 

[Wallydraigle]

none

 

[bmacd]

only a couple rare songs...mostly oldies. Probably 50 at most.

i read about this guy in an audiophile mag who was an audio phile with a 1500usd+ system laying idle after he got broadband, then MP3, then a number of new harddisks. RIAA reconed AG did billions of files. well: at 500 tracks which with 12 per mix/ album is probably about right x 20m users = 10billion metric tracks, and 7Mb per track = (i think) 67Peta bytes (- fukk!)

 

[cthulhu]

None. I use Kazaa lite. What is this direct connect that you speak of?

 

[ElFenix]

about 0.

though i have all of my friend's MP3s on my HD that he DL'd from AG since he formatted and installed XP last night.

Home of DirectConnect it seems...I'm downloading it now, gonna see what it's like.

 

[bmacd]

Direct Connect

It's pretty cool. The only catch is that you have to share a lot of files (read: +20gig) to get into any good hubs. You pick a "hub" to join..it's like a server. Um..i'm eating now and on the phone, but i'll add more info when i'm done.

Direct Connect is absolutely baffling.

 

[Alienwho]

Yeah the only catch with direct connect is you usually need to share 20+ gigs with 3 open slots.

But it is so worth it, it is simply amazing and you can find ANYTHING ten fold. Several of the hubs i join share over 50 TERABYTES.

Yeah..look at as though the cost to download is the cost of a loaded 40G drive...but theres a ton of other goodies there too...like GTA3
:Q

the good thing about AG was that ppl were prepared to share their files, where as kazaa its pityfull.

ill check out dc tomorrow, but ill have to share a lot that i dont want to uf. inc programmes etc.

 

[BD2003]

Ive got 20 something gigs shared, but still no lukc being able to download ANYTHING....

 

[chickendinner]

0
never used it.

 

[cthulhu]

20 gigs! I don't have that many mp3's and movies. Guess it's time to invest in another hdd. HEHE

 

[Alienwho]

90% of the hubs i join requre 45 gigs shared.

Ive got 20 something gigs shared, but still no lukc being able to download ANYTHING....

Are you in passive mode? are you in a decent hub? do you get search results but not able to download, or no search results?

It's all about the hub.

 

[BD2003]

I have one thing downloading at 3kb a sec, and it took 2 hours to find someone to connect to. Search results come in fine. I have 27gb shared, if thats not enough, I dont know what is.

How would I know a decent hub? I wouldnt mind a pm full of "suggestions"..... please?

 

[StattlichPassat]

I probably downloaded 10GB+ from them. RIP.

 

[GhettoFob]

i have about 90 cdrs filled with mp3s, 0 from audiogalaxy

 

[LordMaul]

Fsck that. I used the old Scour, then Morpheus, then Kazaa Lite. I bounced around with Napster a little but it usually ='ed t3h suck.
